There have been a few people who have done this. It may have been mentioned on 4x4 Wire or the Pirate board. A guy I work with had a beater Blazer. He had the entire inside and out done with Rhino Liner. Very easy to clean with a hose. The company that did it lightly sand blasted the who thing for prep. I think it is a great idea.

WalMart has truck bed coating in a 1 gallon can. And in a spray can. Done a few Jeeps with it. And it works pretty well. That stuff is hard to scratch. I just sanded the whole thing with a flapper wheel on a grinder. Then made sure I got the corners really good. Total cost for doing a whole CJ5 was around 150.
That's a lot cheaper than having a pro do it. My cousin sprays Line X for a living. And through him it's almost 600 to have my 83 mini done.
