If the steel surface is free of rust, a good primer and urethane paint is a good combination. I paint some ammonia and other subzero tanks with that combination. I'd steer clear of bedliner, it is a difficult material to use and bond strengths are all over the map. Zinc primers are good for salt water environs. Almost as good as the red lead we used onboard some of the vessels I painted.
FWIW, when the BIL worked at the Ford plant, prior to taking delivery of his new Galaxy, he and his line-mates poured motor oil in all the cavities they could. While other Galaxies rusted through the rocker panels, door seams, and headlight cowlings, that Ford never rusted.
