Painted wiring.
Just get a rattle can and paint everything in the trunk. Lights,wires (what color code??)).
I e spent hours cleaning paint off the wire at terminals.

Well there's sins which you may or may not just shake your head for and then for me there are things that just irritate the crap out me. As we have noted some sins are understandable perhaps at the time. There is of some crossover here.

Yes, painted wire, rust and everything else for a quick sale. That would be my car. You could have wrapped it with something.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.
