Don’t overlook the technique of ragged edge cloud and mountain spray masks. Do the like in a smaller version for sections like worn galvanized roofs. You’ll feather the edges of the applied paint with

If no one can write specifics about that car….. I’m reminded of the size of replacement steel panels used by the rebuild shops to change a serviceable wood sided car into a steel sided car. Maybe ???
