S3 paintwork, bit of advice please

[Nick13]

My S3 turned from green to red around seven years ago according to what I could determine from all the paperwork.
I know the red is wrong for the year, but it is nice to look at.........apart from a couple of irritating blisters where the tank must have rusted and lifted the paint slightly

My options are:-

Have the tank repainted

Have the bike resprayed in the correct green

Buy another set of panels and have them painted green plus the current tank repainted......that way I could change colours to suit my mood type of thing!............could be expensive, of course, but worth it in the long run.

What to do?, I can't decide....but if I were to buy a tank and panels and have those painted there would be no downtime, so that's appealing............the red paint's wrong by a year or two, I think, but I do like it........plus the bikes a user, not a show pony, so does it really matter?

Any advice,would be appreciated.

If it was green originally should be a S3A, so what about the S3A red couloir scheme

Yeah, the original red S3a paint is nice too........I could live with either the red or green. the bike did start off life as green though
