Not sure of the particular chemical composition - thinking of the stuff 
used by RhinoLiners and similar kinds of truck bed and equipment lining 
businesses.  Fairly expensive in pickup bed liners -  but my understanding 
was that most of that was labor to clean, sand, and prep the surface.  For 
a keel line you could bring the thing in sanded, masked, and ready to shoot 
when they are shooting another job.  One guy told me he'd do 'other 
surfaces' for $5 a sq ft if it was prepped and ready to shoot.
