I'm sticking with the original blue. The engine bay, inner arches, boot etc are all pretty good so will stay in original paint. I'm confident Luke will do a good job of blending it all in. IME original colour is better for maintaining value. This isn't a standard spec restoration but i'm keeping the original parts should i sell it on and/or return it to factory spec. I also really like it.
I do have some concerns it'll be a little more grey than what i'm used to. The (not great) previous respray definitely had more blue/sparkle in it which looked great in the sun but i'm a stickler for originality so am sure will like it.
