I'd probably use bedliner.. Plasti dip obviously will come off if handled too much.

I painted mine with bedliner and it is holding up great... I would most definitely use bedliner over plasti dip because it is not going to hold on if you use you toolbox

That was the logic i was thinkin lol.. either way if you do it it'll look good. it'll just depend on the usage of the box
