Introducing MONSTALINER™ UV Permanent DIY Roll On Bed Liner

Hi All,

We are a new advertiser on jeepforum.com and I just want to introduce myself, our company and a very interesting new product.

My name is Eric and I have 25+ years experience in coatings manufacturing.
Our company Magnet Paints, is focused on industrial maintenance and commercial fleet refinish coatings,
epoxy and urethane concrete floor coatings and automotive restoration paints.

We are also the manufacturers of Chassis Saver™ Rust Preventive Truck & Auto Underbody Coating.
Chassis Saver is a high performance alternate to POR-15 at 45% lower cost.


For the past 5 years, our lab has been developing and fine tuning a roll on bed liner product.
The product has evolved through 3 generations of testing, development and field trials and has just been
commercialized and is available for sale.

I have personally been involved with installations on more than 20 vehicles in the last 4 years in which
my feedback and experience alone was the determining factor that the product was complete and ready for release.

Monstaliner started as a pet project. One of our employees had used a widely popular DIY bed liner on his
personal truck and was not so pleased with the outcome. He came into work one day with a mission and
for almost a year, he kept badgering the chemists in our lab to develop a better product.

One day after getting tired of listening to this guy rant, we sat down and mapped out what a
new generation do-it-yourself bed liner would have to offer to be successful. A first, we just toyed with the
project but we knew that a much better product was possible compared to those already on the market.

So here we are, very proud to present:

MONSTALINER™ High Performance DIY Roll On Bed Liner

I don't want to write a book here so I will post the web site link for all who are curious to check this out on their own time.

As an introduction special and for the rest of this month at least,
we are offering free shipping on anything sold on the web site.

Just use Promo Code "FSBL-1" when ordering either online or by phone.


Everyone, anyone... please feel free to ask any questions. I am always available to help.

Best Regards
magnetman
Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner

PS: We are looking for dealers in markets involving Jeep, Truck, 4x4 and Off-Roading.
If anyone with a legit business either online or offline has interest, just get in touch and we can
work with you to make something happen.

are you any closer to an estimate of how much more expensive the tintable will be over the black? when can we request color swatches of the tints? as you know i want the od but i just want to make sure it's the right color od that i want, i'm sure it will be just fine, i've always been a touch and see kind of person.

Ok, so basically I've been logging in daily to check on any updates regarding colors for the last 7 months.... and now that I saw the 'monstashades' image I'm finally starting to realize that my TJ will soon have a sexy monstaliner spice interiors....

...I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER....

Specially now that the spring finally arrived and the TJ is topless.

Very cool. Thanks following this! I promise the wait will have been worth it.

Is there an off the shelf solvent I can grab locally to preserve my unused portion? Didn't know to add your product with my previous order.

Thanks.

I was just reading this: http://www.monstaliner.com/monstaliner_features_techdata.htm
It's at the bottom of the screen, "1 Gallon for a 2 door Wrangler Jeep tub or 6 foot pickup bed."

Eric, I yet have to test the paint that's currently in my tub with mineral spirits. I did however had the chance to try it with a rag with thinner.
How would you say thinner is compared to mineral spirits? As you said I used some thinner and rubbed the paint. That became dull but the rag did not get really black, just slighty gray. Mineral spirits should be less aggressive then, right?
And I don't mind rubbing that old layer of paint with thinner, it's going to get covered up anyway... ;)

Sorry if this has been asked already, what about adherence to fiberglas? specifically gelcoat and unfinished sides... thanks
Previously painted fiberglass where coating is in good condition needs just scuff sanding same as if it was painted metal

Uncoated/new fiberglass must be primed using 2K epoxy primer before installing Monstaliner

That helps, thanks.

Hey magnetman, in anticipation of the kits getting here, one thing I realized would be nice would be to do the inside of the rear wheel wells (to protect the painted metal there from the tires and the rocks and such kicked up there. Would I need to do anything special to make that work? Should I thin and brush like in those picture sequence you just posted? Or just scuff paint and try to roll it on just like everywhere else?
If the surface is just painted metal inside the wells you want to make sure it's clean from grease, oil, road tar etc and then you need to scuff sand just like it was in the tub. (Degreaser, solvent wipe, scuff sand and solvent again)

Did you order from us shipping to U.K. or you waiting for a color?

I have to say, this thread has been very interesting. I never knew people from Long Island were so generous and helpful! (I'm from Queens, but live in CO now - the scenery and the wheeling are much better here than there, but the pizza sucks here)

I read ALL of the first 100 pages, then realized I was nowhere near the end of the thread. I'm certain this question was answered somewhere in the thread, but I didn't see it where I read. My plan is to Mostaline my JK 4-dr stem to stern inside, but I'd like to do it in stages so as to minimize the breakdown and reassembly of my interior. If I start with the bed all the way in the back, then do the backseat area another weekend and finally finish with the driver and passenger seat area I only have to disassemble small portions of the Heep at one time. It also minimizes the "might as wells". If the whole interior is stripped, there are several more projects that I might as well do, too. So shut up and ask your question already, right? Will I need a total of 2 gallons to cover the interior of my 4dr JK? If I do, what is the best combination of sizes to use for my plan? I was thinking 1 full gallon and 4 qrts.

Lastly, and on a different subject, can I do something similar with the Chasis Saver? If I worked on small parts of the underside at a time, will I need a new can for each new section or does the CS remain usable in it's can once it's been mixed?

Before the questions come, realize that I have a family, kids, 80hr a week job and minimal free time even on weekends. Its just about managing my available wrenching time.

I wish I could blow off NY and come out there to live but yes I would miss the pizza here so I'm stuck
<<<--- mike_breaker_5... That one's for you dude!

So what can I do to talk you out of doing it this way?
You may need 3 gallons to get the job done like this. Each time you mix the product, pour it in the roller pan, saturate some new rollers you lose material.
Not to mention that your final results may look like patchwork quilt. I'm sure you can make it work by stopping and starting strategically
at corners and hard lines but once the scuffing is done the rolling does not take that long.

If time is the problem please allow me to suggest something else:

Disassemble all but the driver seat then scuff all surfaces at your leisure.
From there, decide what day to do 1st coat.
Remove remaining seat and apply 1st coat. Next morning put seat back. Then do the same thing within a few days or in a week max to do 2nd coat.

Did I succeed in changing your mind?

Regarding Chassis Saver, just follow the directions on the tech data sheet regarding "a solvent float" where you put a little S8 reducer on top of the remaining material in the can and reclose the lid.
Chassis Saver Tech Bulletin
If you want cause I've been thinking about this, I'm going to put a discount rate up on the web shopping cart to buy 4 x 8 oz cans instead of a quart so this may help as well.

Sorry for the barrage of probably-already-answered-questions, but I have another thought (scary words from me). Has anyone used this on the inside of the hardtop pieces? I have been looking for a way to insulate both for sound and tempurature, but I don't like the fabric headliner idea. In CO, we have jacked up weather, to say the least. Yesterday for instance, we had 2" of new snow fall overnight. Temps were right at 32 until the sun came up. So when I went to work I had a blanket of ice and snow on the roof of my Jeep. This keeps the hardtop pretty cold, but as soon as the temps started to rise, the humidity did as well. The cold roof, combined with high (for CO) humidity left a thick layer of moisture on the inside of the roof, in the cab. If I had a fabric headliner, all that moisture would be absorbed. Then bad things start to happen. Sagging headliner, mold, smells, etc. I know early on tests were planned for heat exchange, heat tolertance etc with the Mostaliner. What about moisture? I assume this will stand up just fine to the condition I described, something not uncommon well into May here. What about insulating properties? Both sound and temp? What has been discovered now that everyone has painted everything with Monstaliner?

No issues with moisture. Minimal if any insulation against cold temps. Small help with sound dampening.

I don't drive a jeep with Monstaliner in it so perhaps some customers can comment better from daily experience?

Too much too read in this thread, so I have a few questions before I order:

1. Whats the best way to prevent heat from coming from the floor? I saw people post on lizard skin, but I dont have the tools to spray on. Can I roll this over the sheets of heat insulation?

2. Site says no crumb rubber, does that mean this stuff rolls on smooth? I hated how rough the Herc was in my old rig.

3. 2 gallon kit for an LJ and roll bars?
 
#3,021 ·
If the sheet insulation is it soft, flexible and/or aluminum foil faced I would not put Monstaliner over it.

Bumpy, pronounced orange peel surface, not rough or abrasive. You can see good closeups in the galleries on the site.
This is exactly what it looks like if you re-roll over the coating in 10 - 15 minutes after first putting it down. (2nd coat)



2 door Wranglers need 1 gallon for the tub. It may stretch to do the roll bars but it may not. All depends on how you apply it in the tub.
Worst case you may need extra quart

Doing good thanks! Getting excited for colors.
Definitely less than 3 weeks now. Next week we confirm and test about 6 to 8 colors.
We were bored today so we broke out the tequila and made some orange in the lab. (Bottom 2 shots were still very wet)

What color are you waiting for?

Question... Would you apply with ~50 degree weather and raining outside? I ended up having the day off of work, and nothing to do...
