Just finishing off the interior paint.
Added a coat of Rustoleum Satin Black with the roller to everything as the base coat for the trunk spatter paint. This is important as the trunk paint is not water proof and will not seal the primer. Also the black undercoat with the rolled on Satin Black provides a tough layer on top of the primer.
After that was done, car masked off with a lot of paper as the trunk spatter paint goes everywhere, so need to cover everything up to save a lot more clean up later.
That layer dries for a good day or so, and finally the Rustoleum Clear Satin to seal up the trunk paint. I do a bunch of coats to make it more durable. It also fills in some of the roughness of the trunk spatter. A few bits of touch up and all done. Last 4 pics are before and after of the roll cage prior to satin clear, and after satin clear applied. Finish looks nice to me, but hey, your mileage may vary as always.
On to the dashboard area. I'm not going to use a dash pad, so will be painting that area. Not yet sure how it will go, but likely a spatter paint finish, with a top coat of flat black to prevent any reflection or glare. Will play that one by ear until I get some paint down in the next couple of days.
