Nothing wrong with the paint on your bike - I'd suggest you clean it and wax it, then ride it. Even with a repaint small nicks and scratches are almost inevitable - and it's only original once. Maybe get a small brush and a tin of matching paint (probably have to get that made up at a paint shop) and touch in the blemishes - or just coat them with clear nail polish to keep the water off any bare metal. Just my opinion, it's your bike - and it's a beauty!
