Trunk Spatter Painted Ready for Battery and Fuel Cell

Post by v6spider »

I spatter painted the trunk in v6spider. If anyone decides they want to do this you'll need at least 3 or four cans to do this. Before spraying i scuffed the trunk and cleaned with laquer thinner. Then sprayed a coat of hammerite then the spatter paint after the hammerite paint flashed. Today I will be clear coating it as spatter paint in aerosol form is latex.

I think so and it hides imperfections.. I didn't want spend a lot of time doing body work in the trunk.
Just needs to be done like I suggested to work... And thank you! :)

Hi Neighbor!
Thank you! Originally the battery was in the engine compartment so I'm going to fabricate battery tray and mount it.

Cheers!
