How do you prep it? I tried using 90% rubbing alcohol and it ate away at the paint.

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

First you want to sand the whole body with 600 grit paper to get rid of the mold separation lines and to level the edges of the panel lines.
Next submerge the body in a bowl of dishwashing liquid for an hour or so to dissolve any mold release agents that may hamper adhesion of primer/paint. Scrub the body with a toothbrush and rinse.
Next prime the body with white primer for bright colors and/or light colors, use gray primer for blacks, silver/grays and other dark colors.
Sand the primer with 600 grit paper until the surface looks smooth and consistant then you're ready to paint.
What can I say Dino? I'm speechless.
