The factory finish of the boot recess leaves much to be desired – it is only protected by a basic layer of primer, which is easily damaged.
Due to the visible scratches from the boot shelf and the planned installation of the battery, I decided to renew this surface – this would be more difficult later on due to the cables.
For the purpose of painting, the trunk floor was cleaned, after which I removed the rubber cap – this is where the plus cable to the battery will pass in the future.
This is what it looked like:
And this is what it looks like now:
The cavity was painted in the body colour (Shadow Blue LD5Q). The existing soundproofing held up very well, so it stayed in place. I plan to further soundproof this space with soundproofing mats, but that’s classically at a later date.
