Paint help, please 200 1984

Hi guys,

I am trying to figure out if the paint on my '84 245 can be salvaged.

The car is metallic grey. I think '84 was the first year that this color was offered. It used to be a nice, dark blue/grey. Not only has it faded, but the clearcoat is peeling on the hood and roof. There are some spots on the roof where it looks like the clearcoat is completely worn through. The paint, or whatever it is, underneath those spots, is white (??).

Could I get away with sanding the hood and roof, reapplying the clearcoat, and then waxing or buffing the rest of the body to deal with the dullness?

I have thought about a respray but no idea what that would cost.

Thanks
