Good decision, as you like the original color in the first place.
That will make it a lot easier (and cheaper) than trying to prep all the jams, trunk, engine bay......
I can tell you how I know that.

Never cheap cost, the painter charged GHS 5000.00 which is equivalent to $850 for the painting. But hey, I trust his painting work, moreover he did not used the procedure for which he charged this amount so have exchange of words with him las night.

Well, I will post some update painting photos in a couple of hours.

(after careful checking, I was convinced your "Here are some photos from the painting shop" post was duplicated and I therefore removed one of these posts)

Great job.

Thanks Graham, the duplicate might be due to poor network when I submitted the first and i might have clicked again.

Am sorry for that

Wow, alot of work, and it's looking really nice.

What provisions will you take when reinstalling the front and rear wind screens so that rust doesn't come back?

Thanks,

Eric
