I think it all comes down to how valuable it is...
As i've got a 1949 Hobbs of Barbican with all the period clobber on it even bar tape. The more i read about them i decided that to keep it original with the 40's paint and chrome even though it is shabby. A mate said that if you do paint it therest of the parts wouldn't look right, i think he's right and its staying original.
