Default How are you doing your trunks?

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.

Lynn

Mines only in primer (white primer, like the body will be)at this point, but I think it looks good body color.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to go SS in the trunk or BC/CC?

The primer looks so nice I'm now leaning BC/CC.

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.

Gas tank out I painted the rest with rust encapsulator- black. installed the new tank and used clear on it. Then used the carpet kit from cj pony parts. I like it. John

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'm probably going to bed line the inner quarters than BC the whole thing and cover it with a carpet kit.

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.

Default Here's mine. . .




I had my upholsterer use the same cut-pile that is in the interior. He used fiberboard then glued in the carpet.
