I have some blistering in the paint on the hardtop in the back, below the
window. I've seen this on other Miatas that have worn or faded paint. I have
using the paint touchup directly to the exposed spots. Should I be first
applying a primer, then paint touchup. I am talking about spots no bigger
than the eraser on a pencil.

There is a fine version of a filler that comes in a small tube. Use this to
help level after light sanding oe scratching with a sanding pencil. Before
you do anything, use a bit of wax remover in the spot and surrounding area.
Matching spray paint can be gotten from:
