Get som Mcquiars (sp) scratch x and use on it you will be amazed how the paint will come back. Put a good coat of wax on it and it should be good. It will never be pristine but it should be pretty nice. You can look into powdercoat, its a LOT cheaper than a pro paint job, not as beautiful but if done right most people don't know the difference and a lot of powdercoat outfits can do a two step coat. I had my wife's mixte done with a green base and gold topcoat and is absolutely brilliant in the sun. I had it done for just a shade under $100.00
