I have been told that bed liner will hold the moisture undernaeth and that when it is removed there is more rust than if you just painted.
This might be true, but of course you would never spray it on bare metal. I think that the right bed-liner product properly applied over a well painted surface would do quite well. Consider after all that the stuff is designed for an open pick-up truck bed and all the abuse that must endure. In our cars the most abuse it would see is the occasional dropped wrench. I have seen a few cars done this way and they looked pretty nice if you want a sort of stock-appearing finish without the added goo that soft tar provides. I like the look of those shiny body colored painted engine bays but I'm far too clumsy to have one look good for long.
