Hi I use paints from Mipa, it is a German brand. I’m in The Netherlands so easily available over here...

Hi Dax, no did not go bare metal on the trunk. I replaced the rear panel and rear half of floor, those panels were epoxy primed on bare metal. Because the rest was almost rust free, except top part of shock towers, I did not go bare metal. Just a good sand, then filler primer, sand again 500 grid and then 2K direct gloss.

The shock towers I removed part of the seal seamer and sprayed with Brunox (rust killer). Then primer and added seal seamer to look original again.

Hope this helps... Will look up some pics on what I did on the trunk...
