Light gray and white...And the original stuff was really splattered on there...An interesting side note..I'm working on a 64 sport fury convert and the body plugs were in when it was coated...Must have been to keep the splatter in the trunk..
Colin, can you post some pics & info on how you splatter painted it?
I've got a 64 Belvedere & want to make the trunk look original. I don't think this photo came from Mosher's site, but think its a real maxie or hemi 64 B body.

I read a story once that a Chrysler exec's wife had her expensive luggage marred or the paint rubbed off on it. He was miffed and the order came down that all trunks were to be painted body color from then on. I can't remember where I read it, Mopar Action maybe. Pretty sure the paint charts show splatter paint for the trunk.
Mosher always paint his stuff splatter paint or zolatone as they call it. I had a 64 Dodge 330 and the trunk has the original paint....it was body color.

Hi Buzz... I'll get some pics of the sport fury's original trunk splatter paint then I'll show you what Eastwood's trunk paint looks like after being applied to a 65 dodge coronet we just finished up.. Give me a few days to get up to the shop and snap the pics..

This stuff goes on like the name implies..  ..You'll need to hit it with a medium coat then give it time to flash...You cant spray it too thick ,it'll just move the flakes around creating bare spots instead of giving coverage...The "base" of this stuff is NOT gray as you would assume but some type of clear carrier for the two colors.. Here's a shot of the hinge area note there's no masking with the factory applied coating...
