I did body color on my 69...A thick rubber mat under my trunk mat, and there is still a 25lb toolbox in the back with car care materials in a duffel bag with a spare tire mounted in its place....On my 70 Dart...I used spray splatter paint...It was my workhorse...I carried an entire washing machine module in the trunk. The thing about splatter paint...its gonna scrape no matter what you do. Mine was FJ5 with grey/blk splatter. It was hideous after 3-4 yrs...but you can always respray your trunk for 20 bucks right?

if you're going to consider splatter paint, why not a 2 part, hardened bed liner? not the crap in the spray cans at autozone, but the real stuff. it'll serve 2 purposes...protects the metal from the tool box and spare tire, jack, etc. while still looking like a quality finish, AND it'll act as a sound deadener, possibly absorbing any exhaust drones you may get through the trunk floor.

I would do any of the above before going to splatter paint. Nothing cheapens a car like that stuff. It screams "Pep Boys Special".
