Starting with dot fading. It's a really subtle effect, so much that I'll most likely do a second round of it. Nevertheless, it makes the colors look a bit more lively.

Either way, totally looks salvageable. I'd skip the primer but you might want to spray an even coat of dunkelgelb or something, if you want to attempt shading.
