Looks like I joined this list just in time to put in my two cents.
    We Victoria guys are currently restoring a '61? ramp and are in
stripping mode.  We plan to line it.
A good friend James Wright, who also wants a rampside for promotional
reasons just bought a spray bedliner business.  I should tell you there are
some major differences in product quality out there. Line-X is the Cadillac
of liners and there are some other companies that offer the same quality but
without the brand name.
These products can also be color matched to whatever body / accent color you
wish.  There are also some very poor quality products that won't last you
very long and end up tired and chipped in no time.
As for panels to remove..... We are spraying all access doors and side
panels separately and reinstalling afterwards.  This gives a much cleaner
look and also allows removal of all panels down the road.
