Well.... It's my understanding that bare metal should always be sealed w/something that's not considered a 'top coat' first (meaning some sort of sealer). Even w/Bondo, high end shops usually utilize Epoxy primer on the bare metal first & put the Bondo on top of the Epoxy. That's how we did it in bodyshop/paint classes @ my local community college. You might sand through some areas, but that's why you prime & seal again before the top-coat.
While the bed-liner is 'protecting' the surface, you have to wonder how well it will seal moisture. I guess I would ask around & see what steps a pro shop would take. Base your level of 'panic' on that information. It may not be that big of a deal.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
