Default I did what?!!? to my land rover

well, i painted the whole thing in bed liner. It looks awesome. I'm going to second coat it this weekend to even it out, then Im going to black out my rims. It's old paint was oxidized and starting to show it's age, and I was looking at options to repaint it. My brother in law put a bug in my ear about doing it all in bed liner. I wasn't sold, but the more I checked into it the more surprised i was at how good it can look. I did it. I love it. What do you guys think?

Since youre asking. I dont like it. But at least it will be easy to clean and dont have to worry about paint chips and light bumps.

Bed liner....... No judgement.
I painted my '72 vw beetle with a brush, roller and a gallon of real orange Tremclad enamel. It was then wet sanded and distressed to look as if it were a "survivor".

It also has a 2332cc motor and pulls a 12.8sec 1/4 mile......
What super powers does your rover have now?

Hmmm...need better pictures to make a true judgement. Also, with a paint job like that, it needs lift, tires, roof rack, steel bumpers, winch, ladder, maybe another spare on the roof rack, some bush cables and about 10 Hellas.
