I'd qualify that to, in some cases original paint is desirable to buyers. It is not an absolute by any means.
Also, if your concern is financial, potential buyers, then you must be warned if you do a complete restoration, there is no chance you will get back what you put in, in terms of money only. It is a money hole. If you are doing a restoration for other reasons, you, or at least I, would then get a great deal of joy in the process. Some frustrations maybe, but all in all a great hobby.
