I cut-out and welded in a new trunk replacement panel and Por-15 all the seams. I also bought a can of Wurth's seam sealer from George but haven't put it on yet.

From threads read, the Wurth seam sealer is put on with a special gun to create that OEM effect in the trunk. The gun is very expensive, so I'm not going that route.

My choices at this point are,
  • brush the sealer on...but then it won't match the other OEM sealer applied a million years ago in the upper half of the trunk.
  • Digout all theseam searler in the trunk, then brush the Wurth on so it will all match
  • Dig it all out of the rest of the trunk and just go with Por-15...not sealer
  • Possibly try to put in a cheap paint gun and spray at low pressure to get a splattering effect
Just looking for some ideas for those who have done this. This project is not a CW project, but will look very nice when done.
Thanks,
Mark
