Default "To Paint or not to Paint"

What's up guys!

Here is my next dilema/decision. I am considering a repaint on my SSP. The factory paint still looks very good, but is not quite up to my level of perfection. I have a trusted body man of 25 years that can do the job RIGHT. This would include stripping the car down to bare metal, removing all trim, hood, bumper covers, rear quarter windows, door handles etc. The tape would be "rolled" to look like the car has never been painted and all body panel decal would remain intact.

I am a firm believer of keeping factory paint but cannot get the desired outcome I am striving for. If painted, I like the current concept of keeoing it like the 1993 Brochure car.

I will be into this car for more than what it is worth, but I don't plan on selling it.

Please let me know your thoughts as I am really torn on what would be best.

THANKS!
