I wouldn't spray the lower trunk area with the rubberized coating. There are drains in the lower fender area which are easily clogged. Clean, treat, prime and a good painting is what I would do.

Above the trunk deck line, it would probably be fine. You should have pasteboard interior cards which hide the coating.
