How tough? Rhino liner? Really though if you like the trunk splatter stuff volatone is availible in alot of colors and you can clear it so it is durable.But I'm sure someone else has a better suggestion.
Skip the "trunk paint" and use Hammerite. It has a similar appearnce and great color choices. If you wanted the trunk paint to help with sound, just spray some rattle can undercoating before the Hammerite.

Was always really partial to Zolatone. Got that period look. Must just be all the speckles. Here's some: http://www.zolatoneaim.com/ZolaAIM02Cat.pdf
Tommy, I buy it at our local auto paint store. Should be easy to find. Comes in quarts or gal. Takes a catalist, spray it on with a shoots gun.(3M underseal gun, about 20? bucks)
I saw some Dupli-color roll on bed liner/finish at Auto Zone today. It was around $16 a gallon and went on with a roller that looked loke it was made out of giant size Velcro loops. Anybody ever use it?
DRJ, I haven't tried it yet. I wanted to use it inside the bottom of the doors. The roller won't work! I like to use the trunk spatter paint under the door panels and under the seat where I hide a lot of the electrical on my p/u. I'm driving the roadster with spatter paint doors and no panels. It gives a nice clean look while hiding a lot of sins. A local rhino dealer did the whole floor pan from underneath. He claimed it made a hell of a sound deadener. It would be pricey though.
When I saw Rhino liner at the LA Auto show years ago the salesman whould only say it was durable if THEY applied it. in other words, surface prep has a lot to dowith if t stays on or not. The stuff I just mentioned says on the instructions to put it on good clean "old" finish and if the surface hsa just been repainted with "new" paint to test it for attacking andlifting the paint. The ingredients include toluene so I think it's probably in the lacquer family rather than Enamel and that's what they mean, it'll attack new Enamels. In any case I think all Im saying is read the label and follow the instructions and read it again next time you use it because the EPA is constantly making companies change their products. Actuall the EPA is constantly banning paint roducts and the companies get around the law by changing fomulas to some specific mix that isn't banned yet. Sort of like the drugs in the milk bar in A ClockWork Orange (The book, not the crappy movie)
