I've seen that on a couple of youtube clips. What puzzles me is that it seems that it is easily removed by peeling it off the substrate...this isn't the result I want though.. I would like it to stay put, but have the "rubbery" surface finish it reputedly has...I thought that if someone on the forum has used it, they might be able to provide some personal insights.

I don't think it would be good enough for the cup holder to be honest from the videos I've seen. How about smooth hammerite paint it's pretty durable. Why not set up a thread for people's suggestions and give each product a test or ask others to so to offload some of the development cost.
