is the best action no action?

So I just bought this truck. I really like the original paint/patina. Question is, what should I do with it? As I'm in AZ, I don't have to really worry too much about rust, although it will be outside all the time (no garage space).

I guess my options are:
  • do nothing
  • buff/polish out existing paint so it has a bit of a shine
  • clear coat with a satin finish
  • clear coat with a gloss

Any thoughts? I'd like to see the different pics of what people have done. I remember looking at some similar trucks when I was checking out drop kits and they had either buffed out the paint with the patina or had cleared over it. It looked pretty good to me.
