Radar Arch blisters and color match

Hello Everyone,

I own a 2005 320 Fiesta Vee with a radar arch. The arch is blistering and cracking in places. How is the best way of fixing? Should I sand, prime and paint? Also what color paint can be used? I remember reading there was an automotive color which matched. I think an old Ford color. Please help. I really want to keep on top of this rather than totally stripping all the paint and repainting the entire arch. Thank you.

    I had this at the canvas attachment points, water getting in at the screws..zero caulk and several botched holes left open.  if it is like my 342 arch, it is fiberglass over the AL structure with gel coat, so it's like fixing your hull.  Is your problem near the attachment point to the hull?

    Thank you Black_Diamond but mine seems to be painted over aluminum. I remember in the old forum this was addressed. I wish it was fiberglass-Thank you again.

    In the old forum, someone posted the color match to some old ford truck color as I remember it.  Anyone have that part number?

    I think the color you're looking for is Ford Wimbledon White. 

    Dupli-Color BFM0041 Wimbledon White (M, 9A)  replaces DSFM41 / T205

    Does anyone know the correct primer, paint type and color to spot paint the radar arch on a 2002 310 Rinker Fiesta Vee?

    Aluminum, like galvanized metal is very hard to paint. Rustoleum makes a good Aluminum primer at Home Depot
