I like the look of an original bike that has been cleaned and polished versus respray. The patina in the paint and scars give the bike character. I have a 1972 ItalVega that I spent about a year off and on and I opted not to repaint it . It was much worse than your bike from what I can see. Be patient and take your time and then after you are done ride it for a while and I’ll bet you will opt to leave it. It is your bike and up to you , but an old bike with age looks better on the road than a repainted bike imho , Joe. Joesvintageroadbikes.wordpress
