To paint or not??

Hi team,
I've got a Canel blue 6.5 TME and I'm undecided on touching up the paint. A previous owner had fitted the TME transfers, these were removed prior to my ownership. When these transfers we removed they left a slight colour change, the paint around them on the tops of the front guards and bonnet had faded slightly, all the paintwork is original apart from the right rear door and guard which has had a touch up. The faded paint at the front isn't too noticeable but you can see it if you look closely.

I can't decide if I should paint the bonnet and guards to get rid of the faded area or leave it as original paint. I like the idea that it pretty much all original paint but also don't like seeing the faded area's.

Love to hear your thoughts, touch it all up or leave it as original? (with fade)

Cheers

Paint fade on bonnet is more noticeable than on guards.
