IROC-Z graphics: keep the weathered originals or reproduce one side?

Suppose one door on an otherwise tidy IROC-Z needs paint. The remaining stripes have faded evenly over decades. Would you colour-match the repaired side, replace the full set, or live with the mismatch? Side-by-side photos of aged and fresh stripes welcome.

Keep the old door stripe long enough to take measurements against the body crease. Even a perfect colour match can look odd if the lettering sits a finger-width higher on one side.
