noob checking in

Howdy,

I discovered the forum while doing a google search. I have to say I had no idea there was so much involved with taking care of the finish on my vehicles. I have always been a wash and waxer but OMG.
I am located in southern CO. and apparently have a lot to learn.
I have posted a question under ask the expert, (Advice needed to paint or not to paint).
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks
