For a while I have wanted to refinish the inside of my trunk since it looks pretty crappy. I already went ahead and ordered a replacement carpet from DMCH since my current one is blah, but the walls themselves are also marred. You can get an idea here:

I've been toying with the idea of using truck bed liner spray since I've seen at least one instance where it worked pretty well, or at least seemed to from the admittedly small photos. Anyone have any experience doing this or any alternative suggestions?

I have refinished my former car's trunk as well as assisted others' using SEM Trim Black. As with any paint work, the results are a product of the prep work done beforehand, which in our case turned out quite good.

I have heard of others that used the bed liner spray, but it's a bit of overkill for the limited use a DMC trunk gets, IMO. Adding that extra texture might also interfere with adhering new labels as well.

As soon as I have the money I am planning on getting my trunk professionally rhino-lined. I plan on removing the trunk carpet so I can use the spare tire well for more things.

I know it's been 14 years Ryan. You or anyone ever rhino or raptor liner their trunk?
