plans for restoration

Picked up this beauty in September and have decided it's a keeper. Julie and Marc at Marinoni identified it as a1980. Plan is to do a full Resto but do not have infinite $. Keeping Miche headset. Cinelli drop and Benotto stem. Going to use Flamme Red Label tubulars I think but also have a Wolber rear/Mavic front and also a pair of Nisi tubulars.

Paint - Stay same colour or go to a metallic blue? I prefer the blue but also want to repaint with cost savings in mind. Thoughts?

Where to paint - what would you do?
1. Local powder coat place for about 200 but worried about prep and rust with powder coat.
2. Cachet Bicycle Company is local and hoping they might paint it so I don't have to ship it and save dollars.
3. Ship to Marinoni is ideal but $$$

Build Options:
1. I have an era appropriate 600 Arabesque groupset ready to go.
2. Slightly anachronistic mix of mostly 600 Tri color and other 600.
3. Build slowly with Campagnolo. ready have crank, pedals and brake calipers.

Lots of options and I have lots of time to read since I just had ankle reconstruction surgery. Go ahead and lend your thoughts.
