Default 1982 paint question

Since 1982s, were painted with an acrylic enamel base coat/clear coat here is my question...

I need to have both my front & rear bumper done and the clear coat has come off and the paint has faded.

I also need the hood and the right top of the front fender...hell lets say half the car.
It's 2 tone so I only need the top color (silver) painted..

Since this is not a laquer,but an enamel can I sand this a bit and paint over the top of it?
any ideas on a price for all this? No body worked needed..just the paint and labor

It should be rather well cured out by now, so painting over is possible. However there would be no guarantees as to the results and its longevity.
