Looks a good shell.

On top of what Ste suggested, id spend a day with the T-cut, to get it back to Flame Red.
Obviously, no need if its being resprayed,Lol.

Might be ok.
Just go mental with the t-cut, and then a polish.
See what it looks like then.

If it looks good you may then just be able get the arch replaced and the surrounding area resprayed.

All the T-cut in the world will just end up fading back to that shade I'm afraid.

Try rubbing diesel on it for a quick & easy short term fix. Seriously it works.
