whats the intentions of the truck? Show, beater, somewhere in between?

ever consider both? spray the floor, paint the sides and flip a coin on the wheel wells. mostly depends on what you are using the bed for, work or show. by the way nice looking bed. pkj

I say color-matched spray-in liner. That bed looks too good, and if you paint it, you'll NEVER want to carry anything in it, being too afraid of scratching it up. Liner will take away that concern.

thanx the truck will be my weekend truck and show truck. and the bed is in great shape. when i bought the truck it had a canopy on it so there is no rust and it only has one dent. is it possible to line the floor (but not the sides or wheel wells) then paint the entire thing over the liner?

I painted the inside of my bed black. It offsets the whole truck and makes it look better. Takes a lot to really scratch it up, too.

If it's a weekend cruiser/show truck, paint it. If you don't have another truck you can always borrow a buddy's if you need to haul something.
