It doesn't sole all the issues but most of it.

If colour isn't an issue just sand it down, smooth it out, mask it off and apply rocker guard. In terms of the trunk, it might be easiest to simply get a new trunk from the wreckers.

No priming required for rocker guard?

Pretty sure the surface doesn't require priming before rocker guard but if you have bare metal after grinding it down you probably want to prime that before rocker guard - and if you have any surface rust maybe one of those rust converters before you cover it up.

After recently putting new metal on my rockers I finished them off just with rocker guard - looks okay IMO.
