I intend to spray the parts in pieces, so as to not coat the bolts. They will be stainless.

A regular gun will not spray that thick stuff.
Yeah, I figured a regular spray gun might not do the job and that is one reason I questioned anything that would come out of a spray can. I figured an airless sprayer might do it. If you can, tell me what Baker PBE is or give me a link. Thirty bucks is not much for a spray gun. I will probably be using epoxy primer on stuff too. That stuff alone is pretty durable. I am definitely interested in that gun.

I will be using SPI (southern polyeurethanes incorporated) products.

http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/

I will get the products from Baker PBE (paint and body equipment).

Baker PBE Warehouse, Inc.

I use the SPI forum to ask questions about the proper uses from professional body men.

Most of my supplies I am getting locally through a body work supply store though.

I am currently using the SPI epoxy, but do not have the bed liner kit or the gun yet. $$$$ that I do not have currently.

I used the Duplicolor on my 89 Ch&vy bed with good results, picked it up at Pep-Boys( local autoparts chainstore). Scuffed all surfaces with 100 grit paper, blew it off with compressed air,swiped it with a grease and oil remover, then used a 2" roller and 2" disposable paint brush to spread and apply material. Leveled out real nice....but to be honest, it's not as tough as Rhino-liner.
Motorcycle owners have been using Rhino-liner type protection on the underside of fenders to protect some of their High-dollar paint-work since the stuff came on the scene...nothing aggravates a rider as much as seeing their paint being destroyed, whether from below by stones and the resulting starburst, or by some knuckle-head dropping stuff on it from above...
I've planned on using some product in the wheelwells, under cab , under running boards and even taping off the top of the exposed ribs on the running boards where most foot traffic will quickly take the paint off.

A lot of the Jeep guys do this to protect against rust, rocks and mud for offroading, both under and inside the Jeep. A popular way to apply is with a Harbor Freight Gravity Feed Texture Gun like Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices and disposable cups Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices The Gun is under $20 Bucks so you can aford to just pitch it afterwards to help in the clean up.

Thanks Brian,
I will be checking out those links. I understand the money thing. It takes me so long to get some things done that time is often as much of a factor as money.

Later...

That HF texture gun sounds like a good idea. Use and toss for 20 bucks...

Later Man...
