Cleaned up and coated my trunk drip rails **pics**

So back in April the judge at the MCA Pensacola Mustang show reamed me for how nasty my drip rails were under the trunk lid. 12 years of grit and grime collecting there makes it a bit of a hassle to get clean or keep clean. So today I got a wild hair and decided to do something about it.
Just a little details for you guys because I am sure I am not the only one with nasty drip rails. **That sounds bad!**
Used some 3M undercoating spray that has the hard rough texture similar to spray in bed liners. When I told the judge at the show I had plans of doing this he told me how great of an idea it was and he had never seen that done. Plus it will help with rust.
Here is what I started out with

Took the trunk, taillights, rubber seal, and some of the carpet molding off to make sure I got everything covered

P.S.
It is easy to take the trunk lid off by yourself...but a pain to get it back on by yourself!

No doubt, mine looks effing terrible too.. Nice work Donnie, that's a pretty good idea! I had actually been contemplating doing a white crinkle coat, but I kind of like the idea of matching it with the tail lights and the side of the trunk. Hmmmmmm..

Mine already looked like **** when I got the car from Dave.. I'm definitely going to do this, just got to decide whether or not to do it in black or not.
