How did you paint your Bed Assy?

[creepdogg]

So, this week I will get my parts back from media blasting, I plan to epoxy prime everything, I need to order all brand new fastening bolts for the bed. My question is how have other painted their beds? As a whole? Apart? Painted with the bolts in? I am looking for suggestions.

I think I plan to "use" the truck a little so I may end up getting a line X liner, as much as it pains me to not show off that shiny ass bed, I will be more upset when someone scratches it up. I think I plan to get the bed straight, cut in all outlying edges, bolt it together, paint it, then line X it. But I just done know if I want the bolts exposed and shiny, or covered with the bed liner material, I would like to have the option of unbolting it in the future if need be.

Thanks guys
