Well, I don't have any experience with much of it. But it looks like that blemish could be from the clear coat... and I don't believe a rubbing compound will help you.
If you want to give rubbing compund a try, go with the 3M Heavy Duty stuff, it's the best...then follow that with 3M Hand glaze, and finally a coat of wax...see if that helps. It sure helped my car!
Looks like clear coat cancer to me, and there is nothing that will "cure" it. A temporary fix would be to remove all the clear coat via wet sanding/compounding/polishing/waxing. This would leave you with a reasonable appearence but it wont have the shine of a new clear coat, and you run the risk of taking too much off and leaving next to no top coat.
If it was me, I would hit it with compound, then wax it up and start saving my pennies for a new paint job.

yep. looks like your clear coat is failing. rubbing compound will just delay the inevitable... a re-spray.
Personally, of all the Supra colors Ive seen, the one that stands out in my mind as unusual and stunning is KeithH's Beer bottle brown metallic (or whatever the actual color name is)
But really, unless you want the paint job to be A) extremely expensive or B) look like crap cause the outside doesnt match under the hood etc...I would just have it painted back to the factory color
