If you really know you aren't creating moisture traps. Go for it!

I am planning—if I ever get the rust repair done—Epoxy Primer then Upol Raptor tinted to Ivory White for the underneath and lizard skin sound for the inside of the passenger compartment and lizard skin sound and lizard skin heat for the engine side of the firewall. Ivory white paint over the lizard skin

I had the painter shoot bed liner on the bottom and wheel wells. But I was still concerned about the wheel wells getting junk thrown back into the tight spots. So the well liners are almost done, should be easy to clean. Best, MarkAttached Image

Awesome, you can let me know how it works—I am so far behind and my girlfriend just bought a fixer upper (house) that means bathrooms and a kitchen remodel before I get back to my car

I make pickup truck wheel liners from dirt track racer plastic, it comes in 2 ft wide rolls and in many colors. Use a heat gun to warm the plastic ( it takes a while over a large area ) and you can bend and form.

This is great for the rear wheel wells as a simple U shape bolted to the bed flange works wonders.

Covered moisture traps lead to the worst kind of rust... the hidden cancer.

Seems there are lots of thoughts. Probably going to rethink and wait until primer on and make a decision..

Enough has been said. Just don't.
Drop in some removable rubber floor panels if you feel the need to capture your girlfriend's spilled drink or try and stop some sound. Take them out otherwise!

I used that stuff as the final coat on my sails and the removable Long covers. I used flat black and by design it kinda spits small thick specks. From 10' my sails look like factory.

I remember this stuff that cars had in there trunks in the 60s when I was small. It was called Zolatone and it was very durable and they had a lot of great colors. Spatter Paint

Bob B

Zolatone AIM Multicolor
Midnight Blue - 20 Series Stock Color Spatter Finish, 1 Gallon
Item #: ZOL 20-84-1
The Perfect OEM Finish
The Perfect Coating To Refinish Anything You Can Imagine
Fabulous Looking Tough Performing Zolatone 20 Multicolor Spatter Finishes
Zolatone is a durable coating that resists wear from abrasion scratching and chipping
Far tougher than regular paint

November 24, 2012

Despite the trunk bodywork being finished for a long time, I only recently got around to laying down some spatter paint. When it comes to spatter paint, you can either get the stuff in the rattle cans, or you can get quart cans made by a company called Zolatone and spray it with your own gun. I've seen rattle can jobs and they look nice, but the spots seem to be very fine and the texture is very heavy, so I thought I'd try the Zolatone stuff. I bought a quart of the Black/Aqua Zolatone which I believe is correct for '67 Pontiacs.Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

I used a zolatone product on an equipment rack once. The stuff I used was just the bumpy bits, with no color—the bits were black and the liquid part was clear, You sprayed or brushed it on and then topcoat it with color. It was a very weird application—I did it with a brush—but very durable and professional looking. it was similar to the targa top finish. They make a few different products I don't remember which one this was.

You all have me thinking...

I'm nearing the point where I'll be having my chassis blasted and epoxy coated.
I'm thinking I may test out a couple of these products on the chassis to see how it turns out and decide which I like...then send it off to have it all removed!

I used this Eastwood "trunk paint" on another car and really liked how it turned out.

One thing I have to account for is that I have no trunk floor so my entire engine compartment/trunk area is exposed to heat and road grime so I'll need something that's "reasonably easy" to clean.

Eastwood does call out that this "must be sealed with Diamond Clear for Painted Surfaces".

I guess I can do that then dirty it all up and see how it tidies up. I'll certainly keep you posted on how it goes.
