Yes, definitely Quiet Car. I use it and it makes a huge difference in sound levels. You just paint it on (3 layers) and you are good to go.

To recap:

Quiet Car: less expensive, less weight, better sound reduction that all the mat products.

check out my interior build, I went with quiet car, i can't tell you in-car driving results yet, but just by tapping on the door panels and roof, and then tapping on the fenders/hood (which don't have quietcar) there is a huge difference in how they sound.

It's black, looks a little purple when wet though. Simply painting over it will not look all that great unless you are a master of putting it on. and I'm not sure how durable it is. I would definitely want a carpet over it on the floor.

Theres no real point in matting your doors if you have quiet coat, with a brush you can easily get 95% of the inside of your doors.
