Yeah ride it for a while an make sure you really like it before considering a new paint job. Of course I can't tell from those CL pics, but alot of times the original paint job on a bike even with scratches is just fine. Clean it up and if you want it to shine wax the paint. You can also put some touchup paint (fingernail polish works good) and you will have something to be proud of.

If you are leaving it anywhere unattended the bike lock is the most important thing you can buy.
