Can I fix this? Previous owner's touch up "art work"

Try and get one of those local smart repair folks to repair it, they come to you. Obviously do your due dilligence first. Personally, I would do that first. Alternatively

Personally, I would do that first. Alternatively get some Langka and have the old touch up paint removed first to see how it looks .

Found a body shop to repair all the damage..Came recommended to me by another member here that lives in the area. They are going to sand and paint the damage then clear the whole panel. They will do both rear quarters (there is another touched up boo boo on the drivers side) and the front bumper (large scrape the previous owner also touched up) for <$800. I'll report back in a couple of weeks after I have it done! Cross your fingers for me!

Got my car back guys and it looks great! I can't tell any work has been done at all.... If anything I think the orange peel is slightly different than the factory orange peel but that might just be my imagination... a complete respray would probably suffer from the same anyhow.

I am happy with it! Thanks to Lothario for pointing me to the shop and thanks to Flocko's Body Shop in Port Richey, FL for the excellent work.
