The car looks great. It looks in good shape. If you want to change it, its up to you. I would keep it cause you know you have a classic semi-stock LS!

I'd keep it the same color, black is very hard to spray and may be more expensive too, every little scratch will show with black. expect to pay 2-3K for an ok paint job, 4-6K for a good paint job, 6K+ and up excellent to show quallity. Of course it all depends on the amount of prep work you do yourself. I just want to let you know what your getting yourself into cost wise, diy prep work substantially lowers your cost.

Ya I agree w/ 440+6 .. black is a hard color to do especialy when your car isnt black already
Touch up sounds great , thats prob all you need since it looks like its in good condition, post up picks after you get the touch up if thats what u ultimatly deside to do
