I would prefer to have a painter discreetly sign a repaint/restoration so that an unsuspecting future buyer doesn't purchase what he thinks is an original. that isn't to say that anyone on this list would do such a thing, but we've seen misrepresented bikes on e-buy before.
If the bike has been repainted what does it hurt? It has already lost its cache or mojo or whatever you call it, if you believed it resides in the paint, anyhow when it was repainted.
