Do a search on "bedliner". There has been much discussion about pros/cons of plastic/professional install spray/ home spray or roll on.
I have lineX and love it. Great warranty.
I will warn you that if you do a home liner, none of the other outfits will provide a warranty on anything they install over it.

plastics arn't that bad as long as you take em out twice a year and clean the crap out from underneath them, sands your worst enemy, it grinds the paint right off like sand paper and here comes mr. rust!! Mines a 96 and it still looks pretty good underneath the plastic liner!

I had a plastic bedliner and I did not have any problems with rust. I did have a Reflex spray on bedliner installed 2 years ago and I like it alot better. The pastic one was hard on the knees and got pretty scratched up leaving sharp plastic pieces standing up like slivers. The Rhino liner uses sand/grit or something similar for traction and is uncomfortable on the knees as well. The Reflex uses something a little larger than the sand/grit and is more flexible so the knees like it.

Rodney,
That funny story brought back a painful memory. When I was 15 I was stripping the paint off of the dash of my first car (37 Pontiac Coup) at my dads garage. I was using brush on paint remover. I had to use the head and during this session I got some paint remover on my "Hootus".
Half way back to my project the fire in my pants flared up and I ran back to the head, standing in front if the sink dancing and splashing water on my "Hootus" when another worker came in and informed me while laughing that I was using the wrong method to load that "Thing".
That incident did not die for months to come, it became a standing joke among the mechanics.
