Let's say I unleash my OCD prep, and do a right proper bang-up job.

Would a quality bed liner resist being scraped up by my shovel blade better than a quality catalyzed automotive paint?

I'm not sure why anyone would do the paint-on stuff.  It costs 120-150 bucks, plus a day or so of hard work to do the prep and the application.  I got an under-rail plastic bed liner for a shade over $200, installed.  And I'm sure it will hold up a lot better than a paint-on liner.

I don't care what you use, if you take the sharp edge of anything and gouge it into the bed it's going to cause damage. If you are going to be that rough with it I would suggest a plastic bedliner. Also you can still buy those conveyor belts for ease of unloading the contents of the bed.
