Photos of that will be required

Missed it, but found some segments on Youtube.

Do a search for "Topgear American"

So, pink paint on a white car.

Is just a crappy dual cab 2wd hilux, but it is HIS crappy 2wd hilux

How would I go about doing this without stuffing the paint?

I was thinking maybe waxing the side (or a silicon spray) then trying pink poster paint thickened with flour...

any other ideas

yep, as Ace said, must have photo's for that one !

Back around '97, a race car mate of mine moved to (Nth/Sth ??) Carolina to work for the Petty organisation, then was based in Miami for a while, then Vegas then I think back to the Carolina's. He reckoned the Yanks in general had no sense of humour, and definitely not in the 'Sououth'. Any attempt at taking the pi$$ out of anyone (as happened here in the workshop all the time) would result in an attempted punch up
He also said they hardly employed southerners. Mainly Yankees, Aussies, the odd Kiwi and Poms, the southerners by and large wouldn't work

Queenstown springs to mind

Queenstown isn't anywhere near that bad!

OK I am showing my age, but I thought that the Bubba bit was infantile crap.

It was interesting that the Bubbas attacked the Camera Vans, not the three cars.
My conclusion from this is that the Bubbas were annoyed that it was a set up to make them look bad, not that they were upset by the signs themselves.

Fluro pink surveyors paint. Buy it in a can and will come off with a bit of detergent. I'd still get something like 'Ezy Shine' onto it first to help it come off.
