I have seen a bunch of liners like duPont, Al's, etc... Stuff in a can really is just paint with some texture in it, but it's been beefed up with polyurethane.
I think spray-lining is inexpensive and well worth it. It's a higher quality three part (polyhybrid with aggregate). Way better than monstaliner, durabak, herculiner, etc.). They have a lot of guys doing their jeep bodies cause it's less expensive than most, but works great.
The clear is a product very few can compete with. 100 mils of clear.... what!!

Plasti dipping is just like spraying on paint. You use a spray gun with a larger nozzle and put about 4-6 coats on so it will be durable and easy to peel off again. They make kits with a few gallons of he dip to do a whole car.

spray-Lining Review
They have a few hundred dealers, so they are not wide spread, but they support smaller body shops and contractors that can't afford some of the expensive franchises

Not the roof or hood genius, but plenty of people do it for side panels,bumpers,tailgates.

No, it's not and it's not sketchy from my experience. They are not a large company, but they have a great product and really have a lot of experience in coatings from what their support guys sound like.
