Typically it's said that new paint needs to cure 30, 60, 90 days to be fully cured. Each one has it's own guidelines. That being said, we typically put emblems, small decals, mats, and bedliners back in with very little issue if the finish has been through a bake cycle.I chose rubber mat. Bedliner will wear your paint underneath after years of use and are slippery to items placed in the bed. Rubber mat can be removed easily for a wash, they have textured/rubber surface for friction, and a quick buff will remove any of the little "rubber bumpy marks" left on the paint underneath when removed.
PS: Experts may chime in with better knowledge, but I'd wait a period of time before I put anything over the new paint in the bed. How long? Maybe someone else has a good answer to that.
Edit: I just saw that @someotherguy and I said pretty much the same thing.
I hate a plastic bedliner, First off, as said, it's slippery, Secondly. if it's wet, you can forget about climbing in it and walking around with an object in your hands.
