Default Can I paint my civic with Rhino Coat?

I was wondering if i could paint my whole entire car in rhino coat. Has this ever been done. I would replace this fender and just rhino coat all the parts individually, replace all the window stripping... and jsut do a professional job. would it be too heavy? Would it scratch and look like crap in a week?

Please let me know your thoughts, heres a pic of my car so you can get an idea.

well, i kinda wanna do something different. This is my college car and i dont have any intentions of making it a show winner. I just though that i could make it invincible. There is some rust in the quarter pannels that would jsut dissapear with rhino coat as well as the dings, scratches, and sun-burned spots. It is just an idea, ill probably put ALOT of thought into it before i would go about doing it. Just wanted some feedback on the innovative idea an "invincible civic."

i would really like to see a picture of that. If you could get one up, i would really appreciate the effort.

And I am sorry everyone for the excessively large photo i posted. I "digital senses" dont really go past nintendo. My digital camera is giagantic, so i think that it gives gigantic pictures...

a friend told me his s-10 truck bed would cost 450, so this will probably cost you like 1000+
