Bird poop paint bubble.

[Benbay001]

Failed to wash some bird mess off my car (will i get shot for that in this section?). When i eventually wash it off it had bubbled, was going to leave it, but then it cross my mind that it will likely rust up and then the car will drop in value.
Anyway, its on the roof of a 07 plate Focus, in a grey ish colour.
How can i fix it so that its as good as new?
Thanks

Whole car?
I guess you mean a small tub of paint, if so, talk me through the process, im not great at car care.

Bird crap is lethal, a re-paint is the only answer really.

Yes, but how do i repaint/ what? prime? rub down?? i really have no clue

[Benbay001]

If that helps.

A diy job will make matters worse, personally i would give the vehicle a polish and a coat of wax and leave it at that, some form of paint protection will help to limit the damage when it happens again as it will.
The damaged area look to be small and not worth re-painting a roof for on a daily driver imo, but if you insist then take the vehicle to a decent body shop

Is there a type of paint protection that i just spray on and it dries forming a nice protective layer?

[waxaholic]

No afraid not, but there is plenty of products on the market.
