I have no hands on experience with it...but my brother used Por15 on his Chevelle. Seems to work well.

My buddy used herculiner when he had his bed off. The kit comes with a roller. The stuff supposedly won't chip in a truck bed, so he figured it should hold up well underneath. He has a full size Ford with a 6 foot bed. The one gallon kit was enough for under the bed and cab, and he still has some left. He is very happy so far with the results. Other brands of this type of bedliner even comes in colors.
