Barry,
I know you're the man when it comes to this. Do you have any specific recommendations on brands?
Also, if it's spray on, is there any special equipment necessary to spray it? namely a special gun?

I wanted to avoid this type of deal but will try one time:
There are two types of systems High pressure I.E= Rhino, Linex, etc, these are franchise deals and are made of Polyurea
normally heated to area of 175deg and shot with a static mixer with 15,000-50,000lbs pressure.
The other systems are made for the body shops and are epoxy base or urethane base or polyurethanes.
I will list the best brands by "Bracket" If not listed you don't want it.
OK Brands, air dried sprayed with a Undercoating gun. Mixes 1 to 1 or 3:1.
Morton Paint co -(Ohio) - Acrylic Urethane.3:1
Sem - epoxy base. (North Carolina) 1:1
Gator Guard - (Canada) epoxy base 1:1
The above are good and will do a decent job:
The next bracket are the best of the air dried and as close as you can get to the pressure system, won't scratch, resists most chemicals and can be based over and cleared and can be tinted.
These require special guns to shoot, cannot shoot out of a regular
undercoating gun.
Speed liner (Texas) 3:1 mix needs a hopper to spray $65.00
Southern Polyurethanes (GA) 3:1 mix needs Geo gun to spray-$30.
(both the aboves are Polyurethanes.)
Of course the polyurea pressure systems are next.
And the top of list.
