Following the POR-15, a coating of Dynamat was applied to all interior floors and walls - again including the "Smuggler's Compartment". The bed's "Smuggler's Compartment" was included in the application.

The paint had numerous defects, and it needed to be just right. The car also underwent a "down to metal" restoration of its paint in 2010 - including under the hood - even though it underwent a rotisserie restoration in 2007/2008.
