Bed Rug's "Bed Tred" in a lightly used bed?
My truck is 3 years old, the bed has some light scratches in it from regular use (I tried to be somewhat careful). I am considering the Bed Tred bed liner as an alternative to having a spray in done. My question is, anyone install one of these or a bedbug over a lightly used bed? Imagine it would be a good idea to hit the scratches with some paint before install? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, thank you

I have a '13 and pulled out my factory drop in liner at 65k. The bed was covered in light scratches from the plastic liner moving around, like they do! I just cleaned it up and installed a full Bed Rug. Love it! None of the scratches were very deep, mostly light abrasions and there was no rust.

Thanks RNL, your pic was one that got me real interested in this option. My paint is in good shape too, was just curious about the prep, or what others have experienced. Hows it holding up?

Still good as new. Of course I do have a tonneau cover so that probably helps. The hardest part of install was putting the load cleats back on as you have to puncture the liner and push them hard against the bedtred to get the bolts started. Once the bolts start a couple threads just run them down.

I have a plastic liner and a Bed Rug. I would get another Bed Rug because its easy on the knees looks good and easier to move things around.
