This proposal demonstrates a substantial profit generation opportunity by becoming an independent dealer of Mega-Liners, the latest in spray-on polyurethane truck bed-liners.  We can show you the ease of application, the profits attainable, the low initial investment required, the other applications from which one can profit and the benefits of being a Mega-Liners Independent Dealer.

Mega-Liners equipped trucks receive numerous benefits never before offered.  Custom spray-on bed-liners are becoming a highly requested accessory in the truck aftermarket industry.  This next generation of bed-liners gives a contour fitted, anti-skid, chemically resistant surface that provides longer life, increases the value of the vehicle and requires little or no maintenance.

There are three features that differentiates our product from other spray-on polyurethane products.  First, high quality materials.  Mega-Liners ML-2000 and ML-1000 material are two of the strongest spray-on bed-liner products available.  They are guaranteed not to fade for the lifetime of the vehicle.   Tensile strength can be enhanced significantly with Kevlar® additives if required, making then one of the first and only bed-liner products to be able to add a matrix for strength.  Second,  ML-2000 is  the most convenient bed-liner systems to color, they are compatible with automotive color tints.  This enables the bed-liner to be colored to match any truck.  The third major difference with Mega-Liners is it’s simple method of application and low start-up cost.  High-tech equipment and highly skilled (and highly priced) personnel are not necessary.

There is no aftermarket product in the truck industry today that provides such high profit potential with so little initial investment.  A Mega-Liners Independent Dealer can be set up with the equipment to begin this lucrative venture for a one time start-up fee of $2500 and a low dealership price.  As an installer of Mega-Liners you can realize margins of $200 to $400 per bed-liner sold.  Break-even initial investment can occur after selling less than 5 units.

We at Mega-Liners propose to train your employees to professionally apply spray-on bed-liners.  After training is complete, Mega-Liners will continue to provide technical and marketing support for as long as you sell Mega-Liners spray-on bed-liners.

Easy Installation Process

Although some training is required to apply Mega-Liners, it is a simple process.  High tech equipment and highly skilled labor are not necessary.  Mega-Liners will train your employees while installing a spray-on bed-liner at your location.

The following is a list of the basic steps involved in applying a custom spray-on bed-liner.

1.)  Wash bed of the vehicle to remove all dust, dirt, and oil if necessary

2.)  Lightly sand surface with 40# grit or wire brush to roughen surface

3.)  Thoroughly wipe down surface with a fast evaporative cleaning solvent

4.)  Mask vehicle with plastic or paper to prevent over-spray

5.)  Apply primer to truck bed, using an automotive HVLP gun, brush or roller

6.)  Spray on material, starting at the front and working to the back

7.)  (ML-2000 Only) Apply UV Clear Coat, MLUV-2000 to sprayed liner in a wet even coat, using a std spray paint gun, HVLP gun, brush, or roller.

8.)  Remove masked area

Total installation takes less than three hours.  Mega-Liners takes twenty-four hours to cure hard enough for light loads (tail gate should remain down during this time).  Maximum strength is reached at full cure (double cure rates if under 70 degrees for ML-2000).

Features:

• Standard hopper gun or airless spray-applied gun

• High solids - Low V.O.C.

• Fast build for very thick coating / lining requirements

• User friendly

• Good performance properties

• Excellent U.V. stability with the use of MLUV-2000 Clear Coat U.V. Protection

• Simple mix ratios, 1A:1B for black or 1A:1B:1/8C for custom colors

• Economical 10 gallon kits 

Theoretical Coverage: 20.53 ft2/gal. @ 62.5 mil or 1/16th inch.
Recommended Thickness: 100-250 mils (just under 1/8th inch to 1/4 inch) or greater, depending on service conditions requirements.
Number of Coats: 1
Recommended Primer: Mega-Liners own MLPRI-2000 as specifically recommended.

Application Information

Recommended Surfaces: Metal and all other properly prepared truck bed surfaces.
Other Applications: Obtain specific recommendations from Rend Corporation.
Method: Use Hopper Gun or Standard 30:1 spray unit to spray materials.
Applications Temperatures: 60-100° F
Materials: Precondition to 75-90°F (24-32°C) before using.
Thinning: Do not add thinner.
Pot Life: 40-50 minutes @ 75°F
Mixing: Agitate Components A & B separately with clean impeller-type powered mixers-mix thoroughly for 20-30 seconds.  Mix together A, B, and if appropriate C component until gel occurs. (See chart below)

Mixing: ML-2000Blk, Add component A into B at 1:1 and mix until gel forms and apply.  ML-2000neu, Add component A into B at 1:1 and mix until uniform.  Immediately add Component C at 1/8 and continue to blend until gel forms and then add pigment dispersion to the gel, mix until uniform and apply.
Clean Up: Use thinner for clean up.
Drying/ Recoat/ Cure Times: The curing rate will vary with ambient air and surface temperatures.  The typical times below are based on 100 mils thickness, 30 to 50% relative humidity, equal air and surface temperatures, and good air circulation through the application area.
