I didn't take the salt roads into consideration, we don't have that problem down yonder. Vehicles get it ALL from the topside down here.
But if he's down to solid metal with no rust as he states, it ain't rust through and it's from the surface.
But you need to ascertain if your first assessment is correct, that there is NO rust from the underside before repairing the bubbles. If you've got rust-through it's a whole nuther ballgame. You're looking at replacement panels or at least some cutting and bondo repair (which isn't hard, but you don't want to use your '05 to practice on)...

I found some weird peeling on my hood, its like a clear plastic peeling off, i never have seen clear coat come off like that, and the paint looks great in the hole (where the plastic is missing) do they possibly put some kind of extra liner on front hoods on the 2003's or is it my clearcoat lol? i can take a pic.

Again, living in the south for so long, I assumed based on you saying that the bare metal underneath was fine that it was water/sun damage like we get here. You really need to determine that the metal under the bubble is solid before you go ahead and do this or you'll be wasting your time.

I'd go about 1200 for sanding off the bubbles and about 2000 for sanding down the finished work.
