Unless you're paying big bucks for a show car level paint job, preserving oem paint is the best option if possible. For $1,200 you can maybe get a macco respray job, I bet that will look great, not to mention most body shops won't able to finish off the paint to look perfect anyway, because they just use filling glazes. I'm also sure your friends Aston Martin doesn't require as much work as this car, or at least I would hope that it has been well maintained.
I think it's kind of funny how people will say that a high quality expensive detail is too much money, but many of them will buy after market parts for the same amount that won't nearly make as much of an impact on the cars value, especially when it comes to resale.
