Looks fantastic just the way it is. Just Say No to unneccessary re-paints. I can't think of anything more boring than another generic powdercoat. That's all I see these days.
Why don't you change the bar tape, seat, and tires? You could really change the looks of the bike while keeping the historical integrity of the frame intact.
if it were me, I'd put some blue Benotto tape on the bars and throw on some skinwall tires. Maybe a yellow seat? A Brooks? Change the brake hoods?
It's your bike, but you asked for opinions. That's mine.
Enjoy it, and ride the heck out of it, no matter what you do. That's how you'll make it yours.
