Pitted roof from rust under vinyl top repair

Yes I disagree with that. You don’t need to replace the metal to have a lasting repair.

kill the rust with chemicals
etch prime the metal
fill the pits, seal the filler
prep and paint.

where is the problem here?
The pitted metal is strong, there are no holes.
Rust won’t return, it’s killed with chemicals
metal is covered.
filler is in between primer/ sealer.
paint is over a properly prepared surface with quality materials.

I just think that is a lesser quality, sub standard way of repairing rust/pitted sheet metal. I’ve built a handful of vehicles and almost every one starts with un doing poor workmanship from previous owners. And most of the time that is body work and electrical.
