Why clear it? They didn't do that from the factory and your results look fantastic. The spatter paint should hold up quite nicely as long as you're not going to use this beast for hauling engines in the trunk.....

That came out perfect and it will look even better with the clear. Unfortunately for me I have to put a whole new trunk pan in!! I have a long road to travel! Glad yours is coming so quick, you will be enjoying it before the end of summer.

So I couldn't put a ratty taillight harness in my freshly spattered trunk.
I've seen two kinds of tape on the harness' of my car so I bought both kinds of original GM harness wrap tape, a non stick PVC type and a cloth sticky kind. I've seen that the sticky cloth kind was for areas of higher heat.
The rear taillight I noticed was the PVC type, but as I unraveled it it had the cloth kind underneath. So I wrapped it first with the cloth type then the non stick. Tough to tell in the pics but it came out nice the PVC type sticks to the cloth and makes the wrapping much easier.

Nice. If you look at an OEM harness you'll also notice they got max coverage out of their wiring tape. The wraps were as far apart as possible with minimum overlap.
