well my delema is that i own a 03 Cavy with a fiberglass body kit and fender and i live in Central MS which means gravel and flying rock chips so i need something that will protect and look good doing it so i was thinking of the high gloss non textured truck bed coating on the bottom of the car.
also its easier for me to paint the car with truck bed coating then it is for me to get actual auto paint and go thru the processes of having to paint it the right way, as of right now it is rattle can primered and in need of a rear bumper for now

Easy now = Impossible later...

They make a chip gard spray on base that goes under the basecoat and hides alot of sin that you could use if your worried about rock chips... You should not have put a body kit on if your that concerned about it...

Doing the whole car, would look ugly and probably not last very long anyway, plus as I said, nearly impossible to make paint look good if you ever actually paint it... I see lots of sanding in your future if you do this...

Why on god's earth do people think ideas like this will help them out? Please take my advice from someone who has painted a car or two... This is not what you want to do...
