I am in two minds about this, I agree that yes its your bike so do what you like,
But if it were my bike I would rather keep the original paint unless it was an absolute wreck or so common that it didnt matter but especially on something slightly unusual, original is always best.
Plus I like the look of worn but original bikes, you can see they're old and they get ridden and in my minds that makes them look a bit more characterful than something with a flawless paint job?
Obviously, down to you man but if it was me id just leave it and enjoy the bike. also it saves time and money and you wont be so worried about blemishes as you would with a spotless finish.
