Trunk Paint
Short answer: The trunk used GM spatter (spackle) paint, not a rubberized coating — and it needs a clear coat over it.
Tips: the surface must be a little rough or the (water-based) spatter paint sags and shows the smooth area; get it super clean; allow cure time between coats, especially the clear. Plan on ~4 cans of spatter and 1 of clear. Mask well (the clear goes everywhere), and be careful around the wheel wells/rear-window mechanisms. The marker-light assembly should show a little overspray.
