Default Snap on bed covers

I have a 96 chevy half ton step side bed. The clear coat is peeling
from the top of the bed. I thought about installign one of those black
tonneau covers with snaps on the side.

How would this look on this truck and are they hard to install? DO
they last a long time?

IMO putting on snaps is just eventually inviting rust to the bed.

Rhino liner for truck beds.My old buddy owns a 2001 Chevrolet pickup
truck.Soon after he bought the pickup truck, he took it somewhere to
have the bed sprayed with Rhino liner.That was about seven years ago.His
pickup truck still looks new inside and out, it is white with black
Rhino liner. Rhino liner is 100 percent polyurethane, they add paint
pigment to the polyurethane depending on what color the customer wants.I
don't know how much it cost.

The bed is fiberglass I believe. (Stepside)
