I did it, after many years of dreaming about it - daring myself, I went and did it.
It's not a Land Rover on African Safari, but I can pretend.
Ingredients: One 16 year old Geo Tracker - black. 10 of the cheapest gloss white spray paint cans I could find, and one gloss black no-name can. Three rolls of the cheapest masking tape and some Naval jelly for the rust.
I still need to do some touch up and clean off the old tape glue with mineral spirts, but it's done and I can now focus on other things.
If it were not windy (gusty 10 mph) and if I used the good paint and good 3M tape it, could of came out much nicer. For all the work involved would of been worth it to tape it and have a professional spray it. The next $700 car I do this to will be better - might even fix those rust holes.
