I have seen very nicely restored and/or custom cars with their fender wells painted to match the body, and an equal number where the fender wells are painted black. Modern cars seem to have their fender wells lined with black plastic, at least that is how my VW's and Audis are. This is not something that everyone notices, but some may have an opinion.

Personally I don't think the diy truck bed liner is any more durable than a shutz type of undercoating but someone may get a better result than I did. I put the two part gatorguard on the inner fenders of a jeep truck and some of it came off after several years of hunting use. I also put some over por15 and all of it came off. I put the gatorguard on the bottom of a dunebuggy pan over por15 that had tiecoat primer applied inbetween and haven't used it enough to see how it will holdup. For a street car I think I will just use a acrylic auto enamel over epoxyprimer with a shutz rubberized under coat on top of that on the bottom and innerfender wells. Some people have said that spraying clear over the undercoat makes for easier cleanup.
