I know the correct way of doing the trunk area is for it to be painted.
I don't want plain paint, it is too boring for me.
I want ideas and I'm looking for pics of your ideas of painting your trunks either with undercoat, splatter paint, any combos of ideas mentioned, anything.....
Please post pics.

I used the "trunk spatter paint" I think it looks great! A quick sand to get the high spots cleaned up, a little scrubbing and spray it on, easy! Would di it again in a heart beat and seems to hold up well.

If I didn't want a stock look, I would go with a carpeted trunk area. I've seen really nice trunk carpet kits for classic Mustangs. It makes the trunk look a lot like a modern car. I expect it also makes it quiet.
Again, because I am anal I will probably have the trunk all painted and or primed then SS
then put down fatmat, carpet and finally the plaid trunk kit.
I tell you, I'm a little screwed in the head like that.

I currently have mine done with splatter paint. I've got a fuel safe racing cell, which I would like to leave exposed, and a JL Audio sub box wrapped in black carpet. What I would like to do is Dynamat the exposed trunk area, then cover it with black carpet....when the budget will allow for that.
I had my upholsterer use the same cut-pile that is in the interior. He used fiberboard then glued in the carpet.
