spray on bedliner? Ive seen it on a few rigs and it looks ok. Even seen HEEPS that the entire body and interior was done with it. Great protection from brush and gravel. It all depends on what you want your truck to look like.
 






I'ts been done to x's here before, search for "herculiner"
 






get the good stuff, dont skimp and get the cheap $6 can spray on undercoating crap......
 






I herculined the interior and the rocker of my truck. It's been about 2 years now since I did and it's been holding up pretty well. It's starting to come off in some places in the cargo area where I dragged heavy metal objects over it but thats about it. All I need to do is apply another coat in the back and it'll be as good as new.

Dunno if your vehicle is for off roading but I find that dirt REALLY likes to stick to the undercoat/ruberized coating. I find that epoxy spray paint (the type you can find a Home Depot or whatever - used for appliances) does a better job as dirt easily washes away from it using a garden hose .
 






the other option

My explorer was a red and grey cladded. I took of the bottom skirts and put on step bars. But before i did that i removed the thing moding and attachment tape from the doors. I applied Rubber molding from JC Whitney... its like 8.5'' wide and roll is 12' long enough to do both sides of a four door. After that was on i got a few rolls of stick on vinyl covering and completely covered everything below the rubber molding. So along with some other mods my stock X which was red grey and chrome is now all red and black completely.

I have to say it looks damn good and im happy with it... not only that it washes of damn easy
