Rubber-like covering for fiberglass

I've been fabricating some fiberglass parts that I'd like to have resemble rubber.
I was thinking of spraying the parts with Duplicolor truck bed liner.
Has anyone done something similar and if so, what did you use?
Thanks,
Joe

I've heard good things about Plasti-dip but I have yet to see it up close and personal.
I know some of the Honda guys up here are coating the whole car in it!.Seriously!

Thanks guys!
I'm making front lip extensions so It needs to be pretty durable.
Plasti-dip works real well on trim pieces. My son used it to change the color of the badges on his RX8. It has held up for several months, now.
I think maybe I should visit my body shop supply place.
