That being said, a repaint would ruin this bike.
I'm a "patina" and original condition guy all the way, but there's nothing appealing about the current state of that frame to me.
BTW, a friend received an email back from the seller, he insists there is no damage. I've asked him to post the email here. I won't.
The sellers good close-up pics betray that completely to my eyes.
