Have you tried some good ol' fashioned elbow grease? I've seen some older single stage jobs look pretty good after applying meguiars ultimate compound just by hand. (assuming that is what you have now)
It might not look so hot due to neglect, so worth a little bit of experimentation before you plunk down some serious bucks on a paint job. If you can post pics here, that would help a bunch.
