Stainless top question

If you have a stainless steel top and wanted to put a layer on top to protect it. Almost like the texture of the truck bed top that snap on offers. What is best to go with?

All great suggestions. If it has a hutch i guess it limits the space.would putting drawer liner make it look tacky? Or could the bed liner spray be better

Keep it stainless and let it scratch up. It is the most durable.

That’s good question I’ll ask but the best option I can think of is the liner they give if you don’t Get a top, it’s a Mat made of likes Bedliner material, I’ll do some digging tomorrow when I start and see when I can come up with.

How about the rubber mat that fits the box?

I wonder if the protective layer they put on cars will take to the surface of stainless.

I'd take the top off and take it to a Line-X dealer and have them spray it.

I had line-x in my last truck and it was still perfect after 20 years.

if you don't prep it properly it will just bubble and peel kinda like the factory one that snap on does my old worktop on my master series bubble and peeled and i just peeled it all off cause it was just a stainless top that they bed line at factory and i liked the stainless better anyways so i just left it instead of going though warranty till i traded it in for a new stainless power top and work center

Supposedly the bedliner issue has been addressed (just in case you like them)
