My car is over 10 years old now, never been repainted, and its still rather pristine.

Black is the nicest colour clean, looks wet and glossy and totally hawt.
Black is also pure evil when it rains - however with a good coat of wax, you can always tell that its shiny under the grime

Take your time, it will be worth the effort. Most things can be polished out etc.
