Question Paint woes

I have paint woes. The paint, actually, is perfect other than 2 things.




In one pic you can see that the paint is chipping next to the rear window, pass. side. In the other is where the exhaust has faded the paint. I need to know how to fix these, as I know little about fixing paint. Thank you

Default Paint woes

Maybe clean and prime any rust..put bed liner or plastidip round the window and on the lower panels??..
The lower paint might buff out...some car washes have detail shops would charge 10 bucks to try...round the window...auto body shop ?

that post , needs to be sanded right down to bare metal , then what ever body work needs to be done then primmed and repainted . that rear window needs to come out , looks like it rusting from the pinch welds as well .
