I have a 60 C10 that I bought in Nov.06. The truck was repainted in 2001 I believe. I noticed the paint in the cab was peeling on the roof on the passenger side. I was thinking of sanding it down where it's peeling and just brushing it with some Rust-Oleum. The color is Torch red, so hopefully I can match it without to much trouble. I'd rather not use spray can paint if at all possible. I know it won't look great but I'm hoping it will look better than it does now. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

The only real cure for peeling paint is sanding the whole thing down where you can get on a good base coat.

Can't see why it wouldn't work but I'd do some testing with thinning. From the can that paint is pretty thick.
