I agree with Tech1. A few years ago I took my slide in bedliner out and had a friend of mine (Brand Name Carefree Coatings) do a spray-on bedliner. I was remodeling at the time and had to pick up some brick for the fireplace. At the brickyard I took the tailgate off and the yardman set a cube of bricks in the back. Then he proceeded to slide it toward the front of the box. The bricks caught the floor of the truck and tipped up on end. I thought it dug into the new liner. But when I unloaded the bricks ........... not even a scuff mark. GOOD STUFF.

For the exterior there's Dupont Emron Poly Urethane Paint with Dupont 2 part epoxy primer or a like product in another brand. It's used allot on semi-tractors. It's tough, but nothing is damage ''proof''.
