Default spray in bed liner question

I really like the look of a sprayed in bed liner, but i bought my truck used and it has some small dents in the wheel wells. My question is if i had the bed liner sprayed in, would it come out looking smooth or would the dents be visible ? Dents arent deep but i dont know whether or not they would fill them, or if they just go over it once or what. Any help is appreciated

any dents in your bed will show through but, because the liner is so thick, it will make them less noticeable.
Dents or not, I would still get it sprayed. The dents aren't going to reduce its effectiveness at all.

If you're worried about the appearance, pull your wheels off and take a hammer to the inside of the dents. Any amount you get them to lift will help, and you're not going to make it any worse.

Yeah you could try to pound them out as much as you can, then just spray it. if they're not that big you'll barely notice them

My truck has a spray in liner. I like it because things won't slide around while driving as they would with the factory plastic one. Looks alot sharper too.

Here is an example. You can still see the dent in the driver-side rear wheel well on my '65 F100.

Spray in bed liner will also prevent the bed from rusting through. The plastic liners can get standing water underneath and rust through. Try and get the dents out, but the spray in will still be a definite improvement. Mine is at least 1/8" thick.

thanks for the help guys, if you dont mind me asking what all did you pay for yours , and how long does it take to have done, and do you have to wait a certain period for it to fully dry before using the bed?
