Default Best paint for gutted interior?

I tore out my back seats, and now all the metal in the trunk area is exposed. What is the best most durable paint to use?

I saw an article in one of the car mags a while back about a gutted CRX. He coated the entire inside with that pick-up truck spray-on bed liner. It's tough, it's rugged, it's easy to apply, it's black -- what more could you ask for?

Ah man that is a really good idea! Does anyone know where I can pick some of that stuff up? Do you need a spray gun to apply it?

what I did and what I recommend is easy, just use simple green or the like to clean it and then use the armor all spray on wax and wipe off. Looks good and the spray wax helps for future cleanups, since the dirt won't stick to the paint.

It's sexy until the sunlight reflects off the metal and into your eyes from the mirrors while driving...then it's more a nuisance than "bling bling"

what about 3 or 4 coats of black spray paint? Bedliner might look cool, but it's counterintuative if it adds weight. Right?
