Personally wouldn't respray that as it looks nice as it is.
I would just check the wheel hubs, re grease if necessary. Stick some new inner cables. Check bottom bracket. New bar tape. Charge spoon saddle or similar.
Cable sets on ebay for complete inners or wiggle, chain reactions, SJS, Probikekit. Outer cable sold in lengths. Both easy to fit.
Get some wire wool, some GT85, some autosol (or what ever metal polish you like). Give the components a good once over. Put back together and ride it.
I like the Jagwire pro kits for brakes/Gears. £20 a throw. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jagwire-Road- ... 1201160291
or you can get a cheap set for a Fiver :

don't get it resprayed -----as it will then be non-original
the paint looks fairly good to me. i recently bought a second Peugeot - a bit neglected rather than damaged and surface rust in places - so what
if it is of any help to you - here is a list of my work/parts to bring it up to roadworthy
NOT a restoration
damn - the Forum where i posted is 'down' [ overnight maintenance ..? ]
anyway i will post up the list asap
