I have an 86 Honda Nighthawk CB450SC so it's considered vintage/classic. It has 25k miles, and is in great shape. The paint is good but some light scratches in the clear coat and the decals are faded/peeling a little bit. No dents in the tanks or tins. Everything is all original.

I considerd painting it with the original color and replacing the decals with new, OEM. A guy I know said to leave it as it is because repainting it will hurt the value.

What do you think?
