 Owen,
The one piece pad was put in before joining the top and frame. Since there was not an abundance of paint sprayed under the lid, the paint was mostly absorbed by the fabric like material much like a rug absorbs spray.? Some fibers show body color but overall appearance remains the original pad material color.

Hi All



Whilst working on my 300C I was just curious to know how the factory put

together the trunk lid assembly. The factory installed insulation appears to

be in one large sheet, not cut to fit the holes. There is no overspray from

the trunk lid frame on the insulation material, surely the factory did not

mask the inside of the trunk to spray the frame and avoid the insulation

pad. All I can come up with is the frame and outer trunk skin were painted

before joining the two together and sandwiching the insulation pad, sounds

like a roundabout way of doing it? 



Anyone know how they did it, would put my mind at rest.



Thanks
