I used the bedliner stuff because of the texture, so I am a bit biased.  No clear coat on it at all and after 4 coats or so the level of texture actually seems a bit deeper.  I'd just do a flat black if you don't want the rough look.

Is yours holding up well?  I let mine sit for a while then decided to start over.  I just peeled it right off no problem at all.  Worried that it's not grabbing adaquaately.  Maybe it needs to set overnight.  Oh, and has yours faded at all?

I used it on my sprocket and timing belt covers in previous sessions about six months ago and they still look great.  The timing belt cover is starting to show a little wear but is still looking good.  No fading at all.  If yours peeled off I would say something in the prep didn't go right, though there's not really much to the prep either.  I let it sit for about ten minutes between coats and then let it sit overnight.  Came out fine each time.
