I think the cost of titanium Dioxide bellies have been bullish.

I can attest to the stuff I sprayed an Olive Fridge with it in the early
80's and like anybody whose done that has not been the same since.

I think spraying a Safari with it would do less damage. If you did out
outdoors on a very windy day.
