We only have 3 really old tractors and we've done it both ways. The 333D Massey was left outside for a lot of years before we bought it and it was pitted pretty bad so Dad really wanted to paint it as it reminded him of the 33D his father had when he was a young man. The 44 2N we picked he said his grandfather traded a team of horses for a 9N which closely other than a few details resembled the 2N. He was a young boy when they got that origional tractor and he had many fond memories as a kid riding with his father and older brother working fields on the 9N they had. The 2N was in actually really good shape when we got it but he wanted to paint it also. We use the 333 for unloading grain and sometimes it'll rake hay and has hauled bales and forage boxes here before but we don't work it too hard now. The 2N we use strictly for driving in a parade or tractor function. We also have my mom's fathers 66 Oliver that he always shedded so the paints still pretty decent considering ex. you can still tell what color it was. My Dads been gone a few years and since we're still farming we don't have the financial resources to keep buying and restoring since he wasn't able to travel due to health reasons that was his retirement fun. I like seeing them both ways personally,I just myself like to see happy owners preserving farming history.
