Default Frunk floor interior paint? What is it?

In cleaning up my frunk floor with spare and contents out, I noticed that the interior paint on the trunk floor seems to be rubberized. Does anyone have any further detail on what it is? Thanks.

Interesting, On my 993, it is body color and although there are areas with body plugs where some sealant may show under the paint it is not a rubberized finish.
Maybe Porsche did a frunk coating on some cars.
Maybe a previous owner of your car thought it would be nice to have a rubberized finish in the trunk for looks or to protect the metal. Or Maybe a body shop added the finish along the way with a repair.
I have observed that some frunk finishes are somewhat incomplete and a primer-like finish is visible in the trunk. This may have to do with what color the car was, a solid color is done in single stage paint or a metallic done with a two-stage clearcoat-over-color finish.

Car is bone stock sitting still on original Monroes at Paris Dakar ride height with original radio still doubt its anything other than original but it is a bit of a mystery. It has just the slightest flex and is matte

993 trunks have considerable rubberized seam sealer along the panel joints with a light coating of body color paint. The sealer is particularly evident in the spare tire well.
