What to do with crappy paint job

So I got this little truck. First time I purchased a vehicle without seeing it in person. It looked great in the photos but the repaint had terrible prep work. Honestly it looks like it was sanded with a single rock. The body has ZERO rust and it's just got a few dings in it. I really wish they had left it in the original cali desert sunbaked patina. Wondering what I can do do make it 'better' without spending much money.

Is it possible to remove the repaint chemically down to the original paint? I'm contemplating just sanding it to give it a patina look and leaving it like that.
