2 paint or not to paint

I say paint it. From what you said in he post, it sounds like you've been thinking about this for quite some time. It also sounds like you REALLY want to paint it, but you've got a "worse case scenario" in your head and it's driving you crazy. I hear ya on the "worth more money as is" thing, but the question I would be asking myself is "would I enjoy the car more with or without a paint job. You're right in worrying about the many problems that could surface from a repaint, but nothing "great" ever happens without "great" chances. Just think about this for a minute. How many hours will I spend staring at this car wondering what if? M oney in the pocket is great and everything, but it will drive you bonkers wondering "what if....."
