Schwinn panther find

Look Ma, No Hands!
This was purchased from the original owner. When he was a kid he didn’t like the maroon color so he painted it with Schwinn spray paint. I haven’t decided if I want to leave it alone or try to clean off the paint. I like the story as much as the bike.

I like the story and it Looks like a good paint job. If it's period schwinn paint I'd finish what he started and ride it. Beside trying to take it off would be a pain and probably leave you with a bike you'd have to repaint anway.
 
I would leave it as is,maybe some pins. The story is part of the bikes history. Cool find I like it a lot.
