Go with the bedliner!!! I did mine with bedliner because I always climb on them when I load my dirtbikes and all. They have definitly weathered the storm and look good.

i have already done my handles, mirrors and bed caps with bedliner and it worked out great. a lot better than doing the multiple layers of plasti dip.

Pics? How do the textured handles look?

What brand did you use? Did you use aerosol cans? Or a kit? How many cans did it take to do everything?

it is a little dark here and i am planning on pics tomorrow. everyone i know likes the handles because it isn't over bearing and look good. i used the rustoleum brand bedliner that you can get from homedepot in the aerisol can. the ammount of cans depends on how many coats you want. i did a good 2 or 2 with light third coat on mine. honestly i think i used maybe 5 cans or less for everything.
