Your opinion on restoring this frame?

I got this frame about 2 months ago in good usable condition, but cosmetically really rough.

I did a quick cleanup on it, built it up and put about 150 miles on it to see if it was worthy. Well, it rides really well, and makes a nice comfortable and relatively light bike.

So I ripped it back apart, cleaned the inside of the tubes and sealed it with some boiled linseed oil. I can't find an original decal set for a repaint, which it really needs. Older sets are still available. like this one:

It's not an original bike, it's a combination of mostly French parts. Plus I'd like to change the color. I'm thinking repaint and put on the available decals- What do you think?
