I had a junker pickup that the wife thought looked too bad to keep in
the driveway so I went down and bought a gallon of Ace hardware's
implement paint just to cover it up. I think the brand name was
X-Rust or something like that, but that stuff really surprised me. It
covered well, leveled nicely, took a great finish, and lasted for over
10 years with no issues of fade or peel. I even got ambitious and
polished the hood one day - looked great for months. Hard to beat for
$15 a gallon. I've been looking for some more to do my 88 MJ and
son's 91 XJ since both have that peeling clearcoat look right now.

No. Is there a nearby community college that offers auto body courses?
I painted my station wagon while taking such a course. I paid for the
materials, but everything else was provided by the school, including
that lovely paint booth.
