PlastiDip removal and paint

WORD OF ADVICE!!!! if you use plastidip on ANYTHING...... lay it on THICK. that was the biggest pain in the butt get then then spots off. but with the help of some rubbing alcohol, green scuff pads, and and a lot of elbow grease finally got it all off.

Then the sanding and painting began. i used 400 grit dry-sand paper, engine primer, gloss black engine enamel, and engine clear-coat.

Unhappy RIP Bettty

So I hydroplaned on a trip home from DC. Bounced off a guard rail, front end went under a semi truck trailer, and the struck by 2 more cars.
