I have heard very good things about Monstaliner.

http://www.monstaliner.com/

I researched the roll on liners a bunch when I was working on my Bronco project to use in its tub.  Some day I will probably tear my carpet up and when I do, this will be what I use.  It has non-skid type properties, but it is not so rough because there is not ground rubber in it.  Also, people say it is very fade resistant, goes on thicker, and has a nice warrenty.  I have bought the Chassis Saver paint from the same company and they are good people to deal with.  The paint was just like POR-15, but having used both I liked it more.

There is a ton of info on this subject out there.  I'm just sharing what I thought would be best.  Another good product is Al's Liner.  There is a guy on fullsizebronco.com "Ranger429" that sells it at a discounted price.  He also loans out the gun to spray it on for a returnable deposit.

Good info. I new there was lots more options out there.

News on the POR15 is I noticed on the can it says not to use on areas that are exposed to UV light. Not shure what will happen to the paint but probably not a good idea to paint an interior with it that will be exposed to the sun alot with no top or doors on. Guess its ok I used this paint on my skid plates synce they should not see any sun unless I go belly up. Hope that does not happen any time soon or EVER!!!

When POR-15 is exposed to UV rays it discolors and deteriorates.  Its not pretty by any means.  I painted a dash board in an old truck with it and in less then a year you could rub layers on the paint of with your hand like you were using sand paper.  The only way I can describe it is the paint turns to powder and can be easily removed small layers at a time.  It just doesn't bond together anymore. 

It does make about the best undercoat you could ever use if you wanted to make sure there rust will never be an issue.  You just have to do all the right prep work for the POR-15.  Then scuff the POR-15 and either prime over that or paint over it.  Either way, you would have a solid long lasting finish.  I have known people in the Bronco world to POR-15 their tub prior to laying down the bed liner and the results were very good.
