Depends if you want to simply look at them or use them as furniture. I'm sure that old original paint has lead in it, and it looks like it was somewhat flaky. So every time you sit on the seats, a little more of it was likely to wear off.
If I had these in a hobby room and wanted to sit in them once in a while, and especially if I had young children, I'd want to do what the OP did - sand off that old paint, clean it up, and give it a fresh paint job. Then, no worries - just enjoy them.
