Roof Paint Massive Peeling, Screwed Up - Looking For Urgent Solution

[bluenoir]

So after I got this car not long ago, I realised the roof had been repainted somehow as the quality of paint is shit - upon the first wash about 1 square cm's paint had peeled, then developed to a coin's size. Therefore I decided to give it a wrap since I was planning to change the color anyway. However I made a horrible rookie mistake by not sanding the chip/peeling down before applying the wrap - so after I attempted to move the wrap about to adjust the position, massive peeling happened and the roof now look like disaster.

I took it to a smash repairer and was quoted 600 to repaint the whole roof (which I think was a rip off even though it's tri-layer pearl) and was told that sanding will not make it work, and if the panel is exposed then even if I wrap it with premium vinyl there would still be rust issue. They refused to simply sand/buff it as they did not have time today.

If anyone had dealt with peeling paint before, how safe would it be for myself to sand the peeling edges (upon removal of wraps the rest of the roof seems okay (no peelings) and wrap it again? Will definitely visit Supercheap tomorrow to seek DIY solutions.

Alternatively, if anyone in Sydney knows someone who can deal with this roof and operates on Saturday, please let me know. Much appreciated.

Went around for a few quotes but all around that 600 figure. Damn tri-coat pearl.

In the end I decided to manually sand the edges down to the primer and wrap again - actually looks not bad. Won't notice that from two metres away. Only reason for doing this was that I need to make the car look not like shit last Saturday so that I can make it to the SAUNSW cruise on last Sunday.
