One of the hill billys that owned my truck before I did once sprayed in their own bed liner (DIY kinda thing) and looks like they never touched it up every year because the thing is completely torn up and looks like hell. I bought Dupli-Colors Bed Armor ($100) and can't use it until I can scrape up the rest of the bed-liner. Is there a better way to remove it than the way I'm doing; hands and knees with a chisel. Been at it for more than an hour and have hardly made any progress. I will try to use a power sprayer at work next week but would like to get this finished by Monday.

Why put a junk off the shelf spray can liner back in it? Do yourself a favor and have it done with Line-X. It will last forever and is the best you can get. You should not have to touch up a bed liner every year, they are a once and done application. The next guy will be saying the same thing you did about the "hillbilly owner" when he is trying to revome the crappy duplicolor.
Stay away from a coat of primer on the bed when you do it. No need to spray primer like suggested above, the material will not stick properly. That liner is not made to stick to a painted surface. You need to prep the bed properly and have it really ruffed up for it to be right, that's why they give you a red scratch pad with the kit. You are going to need more than one of those though.

X3 on the LineX or equivalent. I have the spray in liner, including the rails, on my work truck called "Bulldog". (only one available here at the time). Been there for eight years and that stuff is TOUGH. Guy said he would guarantee it for anything but running a forklift into it. Never tried that one anyway but just about everything else has been in that truck bed! Still in great shape, just a few nicks and scratches but no metal showing. The 2500 I just bought also has a spray in liner..
Line x will pay for itself overtime by not having to be redone it has a lifetime warranty mines been on since I drove it off the lot. We get what we pay for it was a great 400buck investment and it stilll looks new
I can appreciate that you want to do it yourself but there are some things that are just cheaper if you have a shop do especially when they specialize. X3 on the line X, you have already saved yourself some serious cash by removing the old stuff. Take the bed liner you bought back to the store, work an extra shift at work or cut a cost here or there and pay for the Line X. You will get your money back when you sell it 
I personally opted for no bed liner and just did the carpet route, yep cadillac cowboy here but honestly I have never seen the inside of a bed rust that was treated properly (not much salt in my area). Best of luck.
