The interior in my FJ62 is slowing coming around to being somewhat decent. I bought the truck with the original brown interior. I am slowly converting it to grey/black, piece by piece. Just recently installed a nice set of E90 black BMW seats in the front. Unfortunately, the previous owners ripped out the carpeting and rattle-canned the floor pans brown, and its got to go.
I will eventually be installing carpet with sound deadening materials, etc, but until I get the funds, and until carpet works its way up my long priority list, what can I cover up this brown with? I am looking for something in a black or charcoal matte finish that will protect the floors, is somewhat durable (we have dogs as our passengers most times) & decent looking that we can throw down some rubber floor mats on and ride until the carpet comes.
Whichever route I go, I will have to pull what little interior is in the truck and wire wheel it down a bit. Lots of carpet fuzzies still clinging on. That said...
Here are a few options Ive been throwing around:
Trunk Spatter Paint w/ matte clear coat - Something like this.(http://www.chevelles.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=44802&d=1315432326)
Duplicolor Bed Armor (aerosol bed liner) - No experience with this. Will have to buy a can to test.

Or I could go full out and spray Herculiner throughout the interior. Ive never done this, but ive seen what seems to be some great success with interiors and this product. (http://www.4x4xplor.com/images/herculiner/herc08.jpg)
This is surely the most expensive route, but Im thinking it would be nice as a long term coating for the rear cargo area and wheel tubs.
Your thoughts, suggestions and experiences are appreciated and welcome.
