Stuarts Draft, VA located in the Shenandoah Valley. My name is Craig and I’m a paint correction wantabe at the moment. I have 10 projects under my belt and the current project is a 2011 BMW Z4. More on the Z4 in a different thread. My daily driver is a 2012 Impala LT with a 1998 Silverado backing it up. I have been a Lurker for few months and I am very impressed with everyone’s knowledge and experience.
Thank You all in advance,

Craig
