I started of with sanding. I used 120 grit to take off all the clear coat and actually went down to bare metal in some places, but I didnt intend to.
I then used Duplicolor sandable filler primer. A couple thin coats followed by 1 thick coat.
Next I wet sanded with 800 grit.
Followed that with Duplicolor acrylic enamal, 2 thin coats and 2 thick coats. I just followed the directions on the can for drying time etc.
Next I wet sanded that with 800 grit and then used duplicolor acrylic clear coat. Again I did 2 thin coats followed by 1 thick coat.
Then I wet sanded with 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit. After the sanding I used my 10" random orbit buffer. I started with turtle wax rubbing compound. Not the stuff in a round bowl but the "liquid" stuff that comes in what looks like a big tube of toothpaste. For this I used a bonnett that is like fluffy cotton or something, dont remember what its called but its the yellow fluffy one. I just put some compound on the car and buffed it in until it got kinda shiny and used a microfiber towel to remove the excess. I used water from a spray bottle here and there to keep it from swirling the paint while buffing.
Did the same thing with turtle wax polishing compound that comes in a tube, but this time the bonnet I used was made of microfiber. Removed the excess with microfiber towel and changed bonnets again for the final step. Used another microfiber bonnet to put on the final 2 coats of wax which was Eagle One Nano wax. Let it dry to a haze and buffed it by hand and you see what it ended up like.
I got all of this at my local autozone for around $50 total. It was a lot of work but it sorta re-lit the flame.
