Default Question about painting my trunk...

What up,

I just gutted my interior, and under the rear seats and in the trunk the paint is all faded and sucks!!! So i was planing on painting just the trunk and under the seats black. Do you think it would be worth it? I was going to use rattle can primer/paint/clear to make it look clean!! if anyone has done it how did it hold up? what did u use? and how many coats?


thanks

this is what i want it to look like..




btw: i drive a hatch

I dont think you will get that off of just rattle can stuff. Hey its possible though. 2 things dont skimp on paint quality, buy the good stuff, second thing is take your time cause you dont want to end up with a crappy chipped trashy trunk in 6 months. It'd look good if you do it right

You'll definitely need to sand it down, fill in the holes, and primer and paint it. No way you can just touch it up.
