Good idea except for the Flexseal finish. If the steel is bare, clean it and prime. Follow up with a finish coat. I used a spray can Line X type of sealer. The best road debris finish I've used is 3M rocker panel spray. I don't know if that is still available or not but the stuff was bullet-proof.
The truck bed spray in my truck, Superliner, is the best material I've seen for pickup beds. That was installed by the dealer and they said it was so labor intensive (stripped the paint out), they would never do another. It is all in one piece after 12 years of construction trade use.
