Hello people,
My cars boot plastics are looking a bit ropey from all the parts hauling I've been doing. I've had a bright idea to paint it with some sort of rubber paint designed for van load beds. Do any products exist? I've seen 'Protectakote' but that looks a little "industrial".
With the plastics being beige it will mean I can change the colour whilst I'm at it :-)
Thanks in advance.

Proper truck liner paint is very tough but also not cheap. Last time I looked it was something like £50 for enough to do the back of an average vehicle. It might be far cheaper to simply source good used trim panels. I use my Smart (don't laugh too much as it's got quite a big boot plus legal towbar) as a workhorse and keep in intending to make a ply liner with hinges for corners so it'd fold down flat. Is the car you are referring to the Golf ? If so there are ready made boot liners.

Yeah, it's my Golf estate. I've got two boot liners, one soft with a grip mat and one hard with deep sides. The trouble is, I'm scratching my trim to shiz. So wanted something a bit more durable. A bit of a half way house between comfort and commercial.

A bit of a half way house between comfort and commercial. If you are willing to slather it in lumpy truck liner spray, why are you bothered about it getting scratches? It's ruined either way if you ask me  |
