Default Best Course of Action? -small rust

This is on the roof, slightly in front of the moonroof grommet. Smaller than a #2 pencil eraser.

Not too terrible I hope. I'll probably find a tutorial on it, but any chance I can get a quick run through on how to?

Google foo results: http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Rust-from-a-Car

Honestly, to get anything remotely back to factory, gonna need someone with some body shop skills. It is a art to get good results that look anywhere near factory. Especially when it comes to color matching and blending.

Most people's first time doing paint and body work, it looks ghetto.

The good thing is it's on your roof and 98% of people wouldn't notice if its not a "professional" job.

Right on. It looks decent honestly, as long as it took care of it I'm happy.

You don't want it looking like crap obviously but luckily its on your roof and not somewhere where everyone can see. Could be a good learning experience for you
