In the era of cars (50-60s) where "all original" really bumps value, the cars were all single stage paint -- so the clearcoat question is not really relevant.
In later years where clearcoat became standard, I don't think there is any detriment to value in spot sanding and refinishing small clearcoat problems. It is still the original paint underneath.
This is different than an over the top respray (dubious work, and almost always flawed).
A window out, bare metal, quality repaint -- professionally done in original colors -- is actually a bump in value to any car post-1973 car that is not a ~25k mile museum piece/garage queen.
