Have a question , I m getting my 71 coupe
Ready to paint and was looking in the trunk,
I installed a new trunk pan put primer on it and don t know the color to paint it ?
And thoughts ? Would be great thanks

The trunk area was originally finished with a gray splatter paint. When I repainted my 72, I painted the trunk the body color then finished it with the splatter paint.
I did the same as Sheriff. I painted it body color and then then applied spatter paint. I was told that Ford painted the whole body inside and out and assembled the car and then sprayed the spatter paint in the trunk. I used a black/gray spatter paint that I believe was correct but to me it looked lighter than pics of original cars I have seen. it might be because of the white body color underneath. Honestly, I like it better, to me it looks cleaner and brighter.
