Mopar did not do it from the factory, they were all body color in the trunks.
I think it looks like **** on anything.

Line-X looks really good and has a lifetime warranty.

Chrysler did use splatter paint on some cars back in the early 60's cars, usually the higher end cars. Other than that..body paint.

Probably done to detail the car to resell it. I used to do work for dealers back then and I bought the stuff by the gallon. It was a popular way to freshen up the trunk.
Certain 60s Mopar were factory splatter painted, depending on the plant where it was built. I had 2 '66 Satellites, one was splatter, the other was body color. Same way with some other B-bodies. I also have a '70 Polara that is splatter painted.

I know the Dodge wagons of the 66 down were splatter paint on the plywood rear deck. I remember other manufactures using in a lot. My 66 cuda didnt have any.

My parents' 1967 New Yorker had splatter paint in the trunk. They purchased the car new.
