I am completing a surface rust problem in the rear trunk area.
I am trying to replace the caulking which was removed
I have called Pelican which they didnt have a product currently.

Does anyone know what this product is or was?

Any application tips to make it match the original.

Many Thanks.

To apply it as original you need a special air powered application gun from Wurth or 3M. They allow you to adjust the spray pattern to match the original texture, then it's just a matter of application technique (speed, distance, etc).

I use a semi leveling 2 part SEM seam sealer. once it starts to tack up (4minutes) i use a bath loofah sponge to simulate th texture. fooled PCA judges in Tucson, phoenix, LA and san diego. finding teh right size sponge holes was a challenge that required experimentation.
I was not able to get teh Wurth gun to match as well.
