I went with a coating only on the tread - I never saw the tape he used.
Not trying to hijack and I don’t own an AD but when Linex did the bedlining in my then-new 2008 Chevy 3500HD dually, they used that wire in the tape trick along the edges and it makes and absolute sharp line. And that stuff does NOT chip. Worked great.....right up til that truck burned to the ground due to a rat making a nest in the turbo piping 2 years ago. I still miss that truck. It looked like the day I bought it til the day it “died”

I REALLY like how the bed lining was masked as an insert but personally if I ever did this I’d ask that the bedliner “wrap” over the leading edge so it wouldn’t get scuffed. To the OP, it looks great. LOVE the sage greeen color.
