Should I...

Paint my bike this color? I effing LOVE this frame and lust for it hourly. But I can't afford it, and if I'm honest with myself, I just really dig the look/color. I know nothing about what the frame/geometry would do for me.
So yeah. Paintjob? Or not worth the trouble? I don't want to be bikeless while I wait for it. Then I'll be worried about babying the newpaintjob. It'll be more attractive to thieves - especially since I'd probably buy some Milwaukee decals to slap on there just for fun.
