When I did my trunk, I used a brush. Much Much less mess, but I used the same stuff or very similar.
Re: Good way to redo trunk? * FINALLY FINISHED!** 🙂
Well After some months or so since i started this project, i finally finished it this morning. I lose motivation after i started this because of the work the was becoming involved, but i just hated seeing my car like this so i took a stand and finished it off this weekend 🙂 About a month ago i went at it to try to take the rust off of the one spot. As i was doing that it rusted pretty bad to the point that the wire wheel was just tearing apart the metal. So as that came a big hole appeared, and thats when i started to give up. I rememebered that i had some brand new fibreglass sheets and resin i purchased for an ATV so decided to finally learn how to use it. Patched up the whole with a couple sheets of fibreglass and let it dry for about 2 days fully. Felt just as hard as metal 😀 ( and it wont rust
) So After that i kinda started to do other things and this project got left on hold for about 3 weeks. This weekend i finally had the time and went back at it again! Got everything flush and smooth as a babys bottom 🙂 Then Came the fun part, painting the whole trunk. It Came out better than i expected :lol: instead of using a spray gun or spray paint i decided to do the whole thing by brush. Gave it 2 coats and then let it sit for the whole night. This morning i go to open my trunk and it just looked like it came out of the factory :lol: So today i started placing everything back in. The Jack that i restored the spare tire that cleaned up nice and the brand new carpet that i got for free! After all that was done i stood back looked at it and i just felt so proud that i did this all myself 🙂 Here are some pics of before and after! Let me know what you guys think!

i am redoing my trunk as well. i tried the spay on bed liner/undercoating. i discover the stuff cracks. so i just got a can of roll on bed liner i will let you know how it works out
I Was going to use bed liner but i just liked the way paint looked better! If you gonna go for paint make sure to get the rust paint just to make sure it wont come back!
Thanks alot!!! 🙂81Regal said:
Is that the stock carpet? Im thinking of redoing mine but I would probably just use some black carpet and cut it to fit instead buying the precut.
eastwood rust proofing paint is what i used on my car when i re did my trunk i did a flat black and it looks good and didnt crack or nothing it looked factory to a point and on top of it it "prevents" rust if water gets in

This is a brand new OEM Carpet with the padding on the back! It is just soo smooth looking and feels good to the touch 🙂
The Paint i used was Rustolem Gloos Black. It looks really nice. At first i wanted to do just a flat black but the gloss just makes it look oh so much cleaner 🙂
