Welcome MTCTH,
Your journey has just begun. There are publications available for you. Some are on this site. The 2 main pubs are the maintenance manual and factory assembly manual. There are many folks here that are very happy to help.
As for your paint: as stated there is no tag. I scraped down through about 4 or 5 paint jobs to get to my original color. I don't think there is another way.
Good luck and have fun. Remember, it's fun. When I got frustrated, I stopped and went in the house for a while. When I came back to it, it seemed to go better.
