I did the first four inches where the trunk floor meets the shock towers/fenderwells (hard to see in the pics, as it blends in). I suppose ...

Finally got around to re-doing the trunk yesterday. Took a couple hours and about $80, however I used that expensive 'exact-match' paint. Shouldn't cost more than $40 or $50 for most of you to do it. ...
