So the flat black paint, does that equal less bodywork (body filler, sanding coats, etc.)?

Not really. Painting glossy black takes 100% body work to look good. Other colors can get away with less, I would guess flat black would be like painting other colors. But the panels still need to be flat to look good.

No stickers, flat black is not too objectionable if done right.

IMO the only time that stickers are appropriate (non-poser) is if you are racing and there is monetary incentive to display the stickers.

To put them on just for appearance would be right up there with the fake turbo noise maker.
The exception to that would be if you were building a replica or a tribute to an historic race car and the stickers were necessary to maintain period-correctness.

Ya bought my car with white dots (both doors and both trunk lids) SCCA and Koni stickers too. P.O. said "easily removable" well not really so I left them on and started racing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Can't hide my car from nobody including the cops.

Plan on fiberglass doors skins and replacing the trunk lids with something. so the dots may not go back on.

Racing stripes and stickers.

I only put stickers on my rear window of brands I actually use (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

What stickers do you like?

That would be sweet. Maybe I'll sand it down and bring some paint pens to WCC and people can sign it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

What I'd really love to do it some MAJORLY 70's paint scheme, but then we're talking $. I'm trying not to spend any money on this car so I can put all my resources into my Aubergine car.

To do that the car has to be white and the stripe has to be three shades of brown. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Don't forget to hang a disco ball from the rearview mirror. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
