Looks good. Box up to the lights and you're golden.

Id reccommend a flat black paint. Looks good and is super easy to touch up. Where as bedliner is a ***** and a half, gets everywhere, and isnt as easy to touch up. Looks good though.

True on the bed liner but if done right will hold up better I think but may not work for others

I used a rustoleum bedliner on my sliders, it turned out pretty well. Good texture and easy application, mixed a bit with the primer I used but other than that it went swell. I got the gallon can, and id rather not break it out after wheeling and use a new brush to touch up what would take 2 minutes with a can of 5$ flat paint.
