When my car gets repainted later this summer it'll most likely be done with POR-15. Not sure how it'll look but I don't care, it is underneath the car I just want the protection more than anything.

POR-15 is probably one of the best choices.

I however, have used the duplicolor truck bed liner (can) on my front wheel wells, and will be doing the rears this summer, whenever I get a chance.

Not sure, we'll find out though, mine had some prior undercoating on them and it looked grey (and it was clean) so I sprayed the duplicolor and it's a nice dark black now instead. It comes off I'll just spray some more as I have cans I never used.
