I’d be pretty sure the aircraft will have a clean and some conservation work carried out. But certainly not a repaint.
Sadly, in a small non accredited collection, I recently saw an example of a 50’s jet in totally original paint having panels removed and stripped to bare metal then repainted with a Halfords spray can, with runs on it. That, and an original 1930’s blueprint laminated! Both items irreversibly damaged.
