Another vote for Herculiner here. I have now done it to mine and 4 other trucks and have not had any issues.

Prep work of course is key. I went a little overboard with the prep, but mine looks perfect.

1. Clean and thoroughly dry bed of truck.
2. Mask off all areas you don't want to have touched w painters tape
3. Begin scuffing paint with included kit to entire bed. You need to have the entire bed a dull color when finished. NO shiny color showing of any kind.
4. Wipe done bed and areas with Xylene to catch anything not cleaned already.
5. Allow to dry and then begin applying product.

With two people doing the prep and mask and application it can be finished in a day if you don't run into any problems. I also applied the UV coat on top so it took almost all weekend to finish mine up, but it came out great.

I know that there are lots of spray in type for 500+ dollars, but even if I have to apply this again in the next 3 or so years, I still only spent 80 bucks delivered to my door for the full gallon kit plus a quart of additional product plus the UV protectant as well.
