Crazy idea for the trunks and interior..., ...or crazy like a fox! Options

Gang,

I yanked the entire interior out tonight and was planning on just sanding it down a little and then re-spraying it before I re-build the rest of the interior. (one of the winter projects.) I had an idea for the interior, and the front and rear trunks. (Or boots...whatever.) I had an assistant a while ago that had these guys spray a bedliner into his new truck. Took them about a day, and it was REAL solid. The nice part was that it was impervious to lots of chemicals, and completely waterproof.

That's the technical part, but I remember at the shop, they had a ton of stuff that they'd sprayed with the stuff. There is an off-road magazine that had them do the OUTSIDE of their truck because it was so great with chips and stuff.

I'm thinking that it may add 30-40lbs to the car, but it'll never rust through, and if I get it done in Yellow, might actually look real nice too. I'm also thinking it'll quiet the interior up a bit.

I think his truck bed cost like $250 (4yrs ago) and I can't imagine it'll take any more than that.

Think it's a good idea? Or am I REALLY crazy?

I used the 3 part Herculiner on a Jeep Wrangler I used to own, worked great! It had a hard-top which was nice in the winter, but sucked in the summer when I wanted to drive around topless (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mgw.gif) . So I coated the entire interior and bought a baja vinyl top for the spring, and summer (pulled the drain plugs....let it rain!), and reinstalled the carpets and hardtop for late fall and winter. Drove it around like that for 6 years with "0" rust developing, and virtually no wear to the Herculiner coating. If I ever get another Wrangler that's the first mod I'm doing to it.
