I feel anything goes when it comes to a PT car, so go with what you want. If it was a numbers car and you were looking for originality, then yes factory paint is important.
Black is a desirable color, and you're lucky the original paint wasn;t some crappy green.
Yes, black is a PITA to maintain and will show waves and imperfections in the body work, so make sure your metal is straight.
NOTHING looks as good and a straight black car wet sanded and polished to perfection with depth for days.
