I think you would want to prime it first with an alkyd primer. Then what do you consider "roof paint"? It should be something suited for exterior painting if its outside!

Do you need a special paint for corrugated steel?

Paint? No. Primer? YES. Corrugated steel is galvanized so you will need an etching galvanized metal primer. Regular paint or primer will peel off in no time! The etching primer as you can guess by the name actually reacts with the steel for a better bond. The steel should be sandblasted beforehand, or al least pressure washed thoroughly. The paint will adhere to the primer. Go to any real paint store (not a big box store with a paint department), let them know what you want to do and they will be glad to help and answer any questions.

How useful is Media Blasting to get a new paint job for a car?

While hand stripping is an option to remove the old paint of your car, it can be a very long drawn out process. An easier way is Media Blasting.

A common misconception is that Media Blasting is similar to Sandblasting. However, there is a huge difference between the two. Media Blasting became popular due to the need to find an alternative to Sandblasting (which damages surfaces and flat metal sheets). Thus Media Blasting is not so abrasive and is also environmentally friendly. For these reasons, Media Blasting is a far better for getting a new paint job for a car.

There are several forms of media blasting to choose from - walnut shells, plastic beads, baking soda etc. You need to start off with a rough material in order to remove most of the paint. Rough media includes sand and walnut shells. However, you could also choose soft media such the baking soda and plastic beads, as soft media does not do any damage to sheet metal surface. Dry ice is also used in media blasting as it doesn't leave any residue.

Media Blasting is can be useful for removing paint and retaining the smooth surface of the car, and for removing rust and other items from sensitive surfaces.
