    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.:p

    This is not the first time I've done something this silly. In 1983 I painted my orange Ford short box van giving it black tiger stripes. In 1984 the Detroit Tigers won the world series, maybe there was a connection.;)

    Those aren't rust holes anymore, they are close encounters with a Rhino.

    Genuine Rhino hits I tell ya, it's worth more now. :D

    Who's the crazy one now?:p

    Does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap aftermarket ricer wing?

    I only need the straight horizontal wing/ rear spoiler and side winglet parts, not the vertical support struts.

    Used and slighly damaged for $20, not new for $200.
