Whether your pick-up truck is new, new to you, or you’ve finally decided to put that old truck to work, you do not want a scratched-up bed. Even light scratches can lead to big problems down the road. That’s why it is always better to just nip it in the bud and get a bed liner. Bed coatings come in three main forms: under rail style, mat style, and spray-on. The first two may seem like the best option because they are the easiest to install. But each of those have their flaws. Bed mats are great when you first install them, but after a little while the material becomes deformed, and they just do not want to stay put. Plus, they only protect the bed floor and often bunch up when heavy objects are loaded. The spray-on coating is a great option. It offers the best amount of pick-up truck bed protection that will not come out or bunch up. Although these products once required professional installation that made them quite costly, now there are truck bed coatings that you can do yourself. Check out this list of the best truck bed coatings on the market.
