Many people share the same opinion with regards to the paint job Greg, but I would highly suggest you get out to see her run a weekend of fall trips soon since she'll go down in about 5 years or less (I think) for her inspection. On the flip side the 02 will be likely done by then so that will probably distract you.
On another note, the look of 425 now is a ton better than the 50 shades of chalk baby blue she was in from 2008-2014. And in my opinion, as a passenger engine, she looks great.
