Sorry to hear you've been affected by the floods... I know there's a lot of nutters out that way that are currently dealing with it, so good luck with it all.
As for the thread: Truck bed liner is a great idea. I actually did the interior of my car in Gator Guard II back in September... I actually mixed a can of black with a can of white and got a nice grey colour.
However, having said that: My understanding is that bedliner is not the same as rubberized undercoating. As has been said, rubberized undercoating may not fully cure, as it's designed to "absorb" any damage (nicks and scrapes from rocks or curbs) and "reseal" itself. It's there to protect the metal under your car, so having it more pliable is better than having it rock solid. On the other hand, the bedliner on the floor of my car is rock solid... I tried painting it with a foam brush to try to get a relatively smooth texture, but ended up just using a brush. The stuff I used (Gator Guard) had rubber chunks in it to provide a bit more texture. However, I would not want that much texture anywhere near my face... I've scraped my arms a couple times on the floor while trying to get under the dashboard, so I'd think long and hard about pressing your cheek against something like that, and then experiencing the recoil of a few rounds.
If you're committed to the bedliner, I would search the internet for DIY truck bed liner paint jobs on 4x4's... This is a subject that comes up regularly, and people have tried (and reviewed) just about everything available. From what I recall, the Duplicolor stuff gets a bad rap on the truck forums due to having a "poor" texture (and some issues with flaking, depending on prep work), but it might be perfect for you. I think it's pretty cheap too... Under $20 a can, IIRC, and it should be available at Canadian Tire.
One final note: Since the stock has been damaged and fixed, and you're more looking at a protective coating than a fine finish, have you considered fiberglassing the stock? You can buy coloured resin for the fiberglass, and you can add media for texture (like sand or whatnot). You could even get a texture on most of the gun, then sand the stock down to get a smooth patch for the cheek rest.
