Default here is what im wanting to do with my bed

I currently have a drop in bedliner. When I got my tonneau cover, they took out the one that was in there and the whole bed was scratched up. All I want to do is cover up the scratches so it doesnt rust and then put the drop in liner back in there. What are my options without spending alot on a spray-on bedliner???

dude..it's easy. wash in there with soap water....wipe it up a bit, then slop paint on. it's thick stuff, brush stroke can't be seen, causze it's all gritty like. if you really want, use some sand paper to scuff it up a bit, but i wouldn't. paint is so ridiculous when it comes to adhesion nowadays.

A few hours is nothing...unless you just don't like working on vehicles.

always nice to see another night runner in the group, there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of us around here. if you can wait until you can just get a pro do to the bedliner then i would wait for that, it also adds a little to the resale value in the end. plus with the warranties you get from a pro shop i think it's worth it, i've had rhino before and now have line-x, i like the line-x better, but that's just me. good luck with your choice whatever you do, here's my babies
