Factor in the cost of materials which where probably figured in the price. Fiberglass materials, resins, sandpaper,primer, cleaners, etc are not cheap today even at bodyshop cost.

Are you sure you want to go with flat black??? eeaaah. Paint it body color in my conservative HUMBLE opinion. You will always get tired answering the questions "when are you going to paint the hood"?

Since its a old school day 2 car, leave it alone. Run it as is. Through the years, I've seen plenty of rough, primered, well worn cars that spanked the pretty ones.

Put the saved money toward something that will make the car go quicker

Sounds fair to me, the materials are not cheap - even for a privateer!
