Default Bedlined rear wheel well area?

I'm putting on Poison Spyder flares and was told by installer that they have to remove the inner wheel-well piece to put on the PS flares in the rear. He said that we would probably have to do bedlining of the area that will be exposed. I was wondering if anyone with PS flares has an alternate suggestion or, if bedlined, if you may have any detailed pics of that area. Thanks.

Lots of guys have bedlined the rear wells. It looks great.

For some reason was worrying that salt and shit would get in there from our winters but now that I think of it I don't think it's even a watertight area now anyway so maybe bedlining would be actually improving the protection from rust. Thanks very much.

Rustoleum(sp) sells a spray on black bed liner. I used it to coat all my inner fenders when I installed my BW flat fenders. It looks and feels neat. It has a wrinkled texture.

Is it hard to do? My installer suggested that I take the rig to a place that specializes in bedlining but I was afraid that that would be wicked expensive. If easy to do I'd just as soon do it myself and save the $$.

Its super easy. Just scuff it up a bit and clean well. Then spray away. Three or four coats and your good.

It's just a spray can, just like any other spray can of paint. Shake, point, shoot! I think the spray cans were like $6 or $7 each. It goes a long way. Two cans would probably coat all of your fender liners multiple times over.
