Hitch mount is the best. But I've used trunk mount racks a fair amount without damaging the vehicles paint by covering the painted area that will be contacted with heavy transparent adhesive backed vinyl. I've usually gotten it a motorcycle shops where it sold to protect the paint on the tank or side panels from the rider or bags rubbing on them.

No matter what the pad on any rack is like, dirt and grit that gets between it and the paint will eventually damage the paint.
