I would agree that a rubberized coating ALONE will not prevent star cracks. It will arguably eliminate many opportunities for them, but the occasional rogue rock (i.e. large) will give you pain. Adding another layer (neoprene, Dynamat, etc.) along with a couple coats of rubberized coating is about the most care you can apply to the inner fenders to
hopefully prevent a problem. No system is a sure guarantee. For me $50 in materials and killing a Saturday was a lot easier than dealing with a potential a star crack. And (God forbid) if I still get one, well then shame on me for putting such a sticky tire on a fiberglass-bodied car.
