If you are planning on a professional respray don't go anywhere near it with hammerite, plastikote etc or even cellulose as it can cause massive problems when it comes to repainting.

If its getting done at the end of the season anyway I'd leave it alone.

had mine done by midlandpaintwerks last year,top job,couldn't tell you what they used but it really is a good finish,mine was badly cracked(hairline cracks almost like crazing)they gave it a textured finish which looks really good.

I sprayed mine with Rustoleum and got a good finish and seems very durable

Sounds like a stonechip. My mate had a similar thing done to his as part of a full respray. Seems to be an effective way of covering the crazing in old fibreglass.
