So one of the biggest cans wasn't enough?

You'll need a few sets of gloves for this if you don't want to be covered in it. Prepare to throw away the clothes you wearing while doing this, no matter what it will get on you.
I used a wire wheel attached to a drill to scuff up the bed. The scotch bright pad they give you is useless if you ask me. Take your time in taping off the areas you don't want it, just remember to take your time in the prep areas and you should be good to go.

I didn't get dirty when I did it. Used almost 2 gallons though. Also a wire wheel helped alot to prep the bed. Save a little for later when u scratch or chip it so u can dab some more back on, it blends back in nicely. As for fading, armor all or tire shine, long as u don't mind it being a little slick it works great at making it black and shinny.

Tips I have found work well...
-Wear gloves and crappy clothes. The stuff gets all over and stays on you for weeks.
-Take out the bed bolts and tape up the holes in the frame so that the bedliner doesn't stick to the threads.
-Get a metal wire brush that you can put on a power drill. The Scotch pads don't scratch the paint enough for the bedliner to stick.
-Use multiple coats, if you are going to be dragging heavy objects, you may want to use 4 or more.
-Apply new coats before the previous coat is dry. If you put the new coat on while it is still tacky, it helps it adhere better.
