do-it-yourself liner

Canadian Tire has bottles of spray on liner on right now for about $10 per bottle. It's just like using spray paint. I want to do my box and have it only cost me $60 or so instead of getting it professional for a couple hundred. what do you guys recommend? sand or wire brush, and should I prime?

i'd use an orbital sander, the better you prep, the longer it may last

My bed rails have held up over the winter so far. they are chipped along the edge from the pressure washer cause I didn't sand the edges very good, dind't want to scratch the paint I was covering
