I find it easy to decide not to repaint, because that decision is easily reversible. Deciding to repaint, on the other hand--and then actually repainting-- is irreversible. Not repainting is a good way to keep your options open. Who knows? Postpone repainting for a few years and you may learn to like patina. What's the rush?
