to paint or not to paint

I have a 72 blazer CST. its been painted black but the original color I'm pretty sure is white. any opinions on to paint it back to factory or just choose my own color? from an investment point it doesn't seem to matter whether its factory color or not. any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated

I think paint it whatever color you think looks the best on it.

It's your truck; if you're going to keep it, paint it whatever color you want.

Just remember that, to do the job right, changing colors can mean more disassembly, stripping, and painting.

Unless you are going for a 100% stock restoration, paint it what ever you want. Just don't forget to paint the interior and inside the engine compartment. I dislike seeing fresh paint but they didn't paint the whole thing.
