Rusty tin roof

Ten years ago the owner had this roof primed and coated with acrylic.  
Unfortunately the owner waited too long for a simple recoating of acrylic.....the primer has failed in some areas.
The owner faces two choices:
1)  Take a chance to"spot prime", then recoat with acrylic....risky that all rusty areas will be covered. 
2)  Reprime and recoat, as done ten years previous.

I was surprised that the acrylic was so worn, unless the original work consisted of one heavy coat of green acrylic
