Get the dealer Phantom Black - if your deacals are decent just tape them off - wash with Dawn, up around the steering arm wire brush,I used one on a drill and some rust remover from NAPA. It will come out very nice - the deacals from a dealer are way too much - local sign shop, too get close

Next- Tell the wife what good is a place in the keys without a boat - need some balance in the budget. They always want a new fancy nest - its a normal genenic defect, males have different ones - just say'in

PS I'm alot older than you, been there done that
