Paint Over Bedliner for Track Interior?

I'm selling my RS carpet kit and going for a fully stripped track style interior instead. My body man recommened a light coat of Bedliner to seal everything and take up imperfections instead of going through the time consuming and expensive process of truely painting the whole interior.

I really want the body color to match the interior though - Guards Red. Does anyone know what the best Bedliner is that can be painted over or tinted?

P.S. I might do my roll bar in it too since it is not powder coated.

most people either use bedliner spray or undercoating spray and they usually only come in black. an option would be to spray it with the bedliner spray to get the texture/protection and then paint over that with color.

this is sprayed with rubberized undercoating..:

Yes, just some bedliner companies say their product can't be painted over, that's why I was asking for a reccomendation.

Gravitex comes in white, black and gray in both tintable and paintable formulas.

There is a product called Monstaliner that can be tinted many colors. Very popular with the offroad community for interior and exterior. It rolls/brushes on. I don't have any personal experience with it but lots of people seem to be happy with it. If you are building a racecar I would try and figure out how much weight you are adding.

Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner outperforms Herculiner Bed Liner, Duplicolor and Rustoleum Road Warrior

Monstaliner looks really awesome, I like the lack of rubber chips in the paint. On hold now to ask about weight, thanks!

It weights about 10 pounds per gallon and should take less than a gallon for our interiors. Also, if you only do 1 coat (2 recommended) then obviously it would be half the weight. I think my RS carpet kit would have weighted at least 10-15 pounds after putting the backing material on, so I like this idea.

I also ordered color chips to try and get as close as possible to guards red.
