Trunk almost done.
I decided to paint over the trunk bed coat with the Vintage Burgundy.
It took 4 cans of Rainbow paint from CJ Pony's to do this.
I just got to go back over the undercoat with a fresh coat.

One thing I would caution you about is being careful where you attach your grounding clamp. These commonly make little arcs where they touch the body of the car. They are tiny and do not show up until years later when they start bubbling through the paint.
So you shouldn't attach the ground strap on any "show" surface.
Just a word of caution, not a criticism.

I did not know that, thanks!
Are you saying it burns a little spot that you can't see and it will come back later even when sanded down and painted?

Getting ready to start the cowl so I figured I better make sure things are where they are supposed to be before I take the cowl out fully.
Both of my Scott Drakes products sitting in my 28K shock towers seeing if everything lines up correctly.
They pretty much dropped right in with no issues.
