Hey thanks for the comments guys. I've actually thought about keeping the original paint scheme since everyone I've spoken to and have seen the bike in person/pictures have pretty much suggested the same thing as BlueOrder. Only thing is, for me, there are lots of rusts and paint chips here and there. I guess I wouldn't mind keeping the color only if everything was in "like-new" condition. I try to be a perfectionist and I just want it looking like no other. Any suggestions with clean-up and preserving the original frame?

Here are the other pics btw:
