There are a lot of people getting into the older classic trucks. Stuff that wasn't a classic that long ago. Bedliner in the bed has a negative value. Nobody wants it after it is old. I've knows several deals that fell through once the bedliner was spotted. Not the long term value that it was sold to be.
If it is ever damaged it is nearly impossible to touch up. Panel repair is nearly impossible. Last ditch one and done coating. After that you throw the van away. Also very flammable. I know of a few jeeps that had the tub done. A little fire and the bedliner was up in flames and no saving it. Don't do an engine bay, that ended badly as well. Somewhere I have pictures of it melting and dripping onto the exhaust. Friend with an early Bronco did it and the exhaust bubbled the floor above the exhaust. Not good in the heat.
The stuff is also heavy. If you are thinking of doing the roof, it is a lot of weight in the worst spot.
I would rather deal with a tweaker rattle can paint job over dealing with bedliner.
You mentioned the clearcoat is peeling. Unless you take that clearcoat off there isn't anything for the bedliner to adhere to. It's trying to stick to the layer that is falling off.
