Default rocker panels and bed liner

Firstly I will apologize on another rocker panels topic. I have searched all over the internets and other forum sites, and I can't seem to come up with a answer. I can do all the prep work just fine. Until I get to the doors. where the two white arrows are located in the picture below, how do I apply bed liner. Do i just do it like normal Im worried it will harden and I wont be able to open my doors. Is that me being paranoid, or is their a trick i'm not seeing. I guess also while im asking this question. I will ask the same question between the front of the bed and the back of the cab that big gap. Thank you for any tips, comments

Leave the door open when you apply it. Unless you are spraying it... that would be messy.

I found this bed liner I have been using for a few years. But it pretty much comes attached with (kinda a spray gun handle) works really well, A lot easier to use and stronger then any of the bed liners I have ever used that come in rattle can form.

I just sprayed mine.. No issues with it at all... Planned on doing alot more spraying until the damn thing broke... I all I did was clean it up nice and scuff it up with some sandpaper.. Cleaned again and sprayed. Heres a few pics.

Edit: The Color difference is because I did the bed first and the front a few months later.. It all looks the same after drying.

That looks really nice on A white truck. my front and rear bumper I did last summer so on my truck the black will match all the way around.

I don't have a preference with the bed liner being either rough or smooth. So far I like both even though everything on my truck is more of a rough bed liner. If I read the posts correctly i have one vote for leaving the door open unless im spraying it which is what im doing and another saying having the door shut was fine when spraying it?
