Thats a good idea, but if you are going to do THAT, do it right. Do it
on the bottom -- you wont need it on the top if you do good paint work
on it. Line-X is the best, dont mess with rhinolining or herculiner.
The way I see it, pop rivets are a temporary fix and can be messed up a
little bit because they can always be drilled out. Bedliner (especially
Line-X) is much more permanent and really ought not be ****ed up. Make
sure you etch the metal (after sandblasting), prime then paint it with
some decent paint (or just use an etchprimer and a topcoat), THEN get it
Line-X'ed. Dont want rust to go in inside of the bedliner -- you wont
be able to see it.

Best of luck!
