I was reading about a brand named Vortex that allowed you to use a
variety of colors and had another advantage of being able to spray over
for repair or add color to the original installation.  I thought that was
a good thing since I do not believe that the other will allow for repair
and color additions. Might be worth checking it out . Ed ke6bnl  /so.

I have heard of people using it for an under coating of sorts.  Spraying
inside fenders and such to protect from rust and rock chips (particularly
on
fiberglass fenders that 'star' much easier).  I have though about doing
that
in the future myself. There was a 1946-48 Dodge car that was in several
of
the rod magazines a few years ago.  Called it 'orange roughy' or
something.
The whole car was sprayed then painted orange.
I talked to some people as well as a place that does the lining and they
say some are better than others.  The person I talked to was from Rhino. 
He
told me to get a brand cerified shop to do it even if it wasn't him.  He
said that most of the big brands of liner had certified placees and guys
that just used their products.
Hope this helps
