Zebra Car - It's done!!

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 the hovercraft skirt project for the next ten days and then the Porsche's oil return line banjo fitting washers.

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.
