Default 88 vette bodywork

looking at an 88 vette but has quite few places that are i guess u could say blistering up, not much experince here with body work and none with vette bodywork but looks in places like rust places on a fiberglass car.

my question is how hard/ complicated is places like this to fix on an 88 vette?

i dont see any cracks or holes just quite a few places that are blistering up

Generally the way to fix paint that is blistering up is to remove all the paint, find the cause of the blistering, repair that, and then repaint.

this looks a lil more than paint only, looks like its into the body pretty good. doesnt take much effort to push chunks out

was just wondering how involved it is compared to normal metal body bondo fixes
