Default Re-painting old Tamiya plastic bodies

Guys maybe this isn't the correct place for this question but here it goes. I have a old tamiya bruiser thats been on the shelf for 25+ years and the chassis is in perfect shape but the body is showing it's age. The decals are peeling up and the paint is old and faded but there's not a scratch anywhere. I originally did the truck in the correct box art med blue met with the white bed box. I know the bruiser is worth a few dollors these days and i might someday (not soon so don't ask) consider selling it. my question is. would repainting the truck at this point (again in correct box art) increase or decrease it's value? I'd like to have a nice shiney truck again but...... Any collectors out there can give me advise?
