Maybe get some color correct turquoise paint mixed up for you and in some spray cans after some sealing primer.

Kudo's on keeping on working on and improving the car Stan

Love the car Stan, saved a copy in my slabby file. Great photo against the blue sky.

What is the correct appearance for the trunk in '67? I can't remember.

I remember my Dad's '68 having black splatter paint. I would assume the 68 was the same.

The trunk floor in my 300 was a little scaly, but pretty solid. The body shop suggested they spray bed liner in my trunk. If I had thought more about it, I would have had it tinted to be closer in color.

Everything I do now, I have this damn thought, "What would Will do?"...
Pisses me off no end. LOL!!

Fury trunk was blue and 300 trunk was burgundy

Ah, rust.
A day 2 car.

So, it's a blackish pebble with body color overspray.
I'm going to skip the overspray part.

Personally I'd skip the coating, strip it from looking at your photo's, and do it in body primer and body color

Or you could go for this look

No. I have to use POR-15 in the process. It's ingrained in my mind through great marketing that the Earth's mangnet poles will reverse 180°. I will not be responsible for us having RH drive.

That works for me. Perfect.

That looks awesome! I love the red body color detail around the hinges. First class.

I don't have to do the part about it being red, do I?

We have to wait for Rexus first.

Well ....... If it helps, what I would do is scrape and brush all the loose rust .... then apply a rust converter to any rusted areas. Then follow up with your por15 and finish however you like.

 

[commando1]

I knew it.......
Recommend a rust converter, please and thank you

 

[Big_John]

I don't think you want to use a rust convertor with POR-15. Use one or the other, but not both.

I've used Rustoleam rust convertor spray with good results. I've also used POR-15 with good results too.

One other thing I did was buy some cheap black carpet on Ebay and cut a new carpet using the old mat as a template. Yea... the edges aren't finished, but it still looks real good, especially with the black tire cover I bought. I'd take a pic, but the trunk is full of dash and interior pieces right now.

 

[tallhair]

you could probably talk to an upholstery or carpet shot and get the edges bound pretty reasonably John
