Id say as long as its acceptible condition for age I'd leave the original paint If its all rusty then you do it & then it wil be worth more & be usable. | ||

rust if unchecked will eventually eat a hole in the metal so its far better to stabilize the metal & protect it. Can't lose when something is that bad | ||

In my case----- I have nothing but junk. Worthy only of throwing it away. I don't have to worry about a machine's value. What I do to these machines I consider returning them to a usable, show-able state.

they r both beauty's but that hammer tone is exceptional make sure to take all the rust off first every bit then acid etch some more I used a rust neaurtalizer on the transam when I did some body work any molecule of rust will breed more rust | ||
