Location: bishop, ca | Morgan, et al, here's another Neil'sNeat restoration tricks:
When you have a very nice condition, but somewhat marred-up trunk panel, you can remove one of the side
panels (or liberate a small section from it) and take it to your local paint store.
They can custom mix-up some FLAT latex interior paint which will be a perfect match to your color, and then you can
brush-on that color, or 'daub' it on; brush-strokes should not be a problem with the latex paint, but, just re-cover the
entire trunk panel, and; VOILA! Instant (sort of) brand-new(looking) trunk panels.
Been there; done that.
This protocol also works with torn trunk liners, where you can repair the tears with Elmers-glue, with the torn areas being vise-gripped-together.
Once the tear-area is glued together, additional coats of the (water-base) glue can be 'floated' over it, and finish-sanded,until the fracture site is smooth as a baby's behind.
Then, the panel(s) get to be latex-painted....
Perfecto.
