Lots of people have. I use coil covers on some detectors and go raw dog with others...

it ought to work, as long as you regularly inspect for cuts.....don't want to breach the coil's shell!

Check your warranty information... dont want to void it by opting to not just pay $10 for a coil cover.
I ordered a coil cover, 10-15 buck's. A can of that bed liner is about 6-7 buck's not much diff in price is taking a chance in wrecking your coil. Also some of the chems. in that spray on stuff will eat/melt some plastics so be careful.

Some truck bed liners have metallic substances in them. Don't trip when you're machine is having false signals. I don't go raw either i use a special fitting sock.
It does get dirty easy but i wash it out back after every use.
Coil covers work but like most people end of having to replace them like batteries just not as often.
I really don't feel like having to buy a 2nd coil cover within the first year so i use a sock. When it gets destroyed finding old socks is always easy.
Bear in mind I swing a compadre so its easy for me to use a sock with a 5 inch coil. You guys with 8 inch coils might need a real coil cover.

There is another Thread in here that shows videos of application and which particular spray on bed liner to buy so you don't have a problem. Many folks do this and like it, but it does have the drawback of chipping if you are doing a lot of MDing where your coil bangs against rocks a lot....Of course, that would not be good for your coil anyway!
The advantage is you don't have to take off the cover and clean it sometimes like you do with a standard cover. It's a personal choice.

Coil covers are cheap insurance. With the $5 off coupons I get from KellyCo with each order, the covers are only around $4-$5.
