to paint or not to paint '68 Dart

Just looking for some feedback here about whether I should paint my car. I like it kind of rough, because it's like me, kind of rough around the edges. I drag raced it this year for the first time with the Classic Gearjammers of NC, and had the most fun I've ever had. Also, my 4 year old son enjoys working on the race car with me and I don't have to worry about the paint. But I have guys ask me at the races when I'm going to paint it. Your opinion would be appreciated.
