MONSTALINER™ from Magnet Paints is not just another truck bed liner but one of the most unique coatings you will ever find. If you've done your bed liner homework, you know that spray-in liners get costly and most paint type liners must be sprayed or they just don't look right.

Monstaliner is the first UV permanent coating ever developed and optimized specifically for installation by roller. Consistent surface texture from start to finish is what makes Monstaliner the #1 choice for do-it-yourself installers.

Now you're probably thinking to yourself that this stuff has got to be just like that cheesy looking Herculiner. WRONG! Monstaliner contains no crumb tire rubber. It's unique texture is created exclusively by the roller in combination with some mad coating science. Monstaliner is 100% UV permanent and guaranteed never to chalk, fade or discolor. You'll never need to apply additional surface protection, dressings or topcoats to maintain or restore its appearance.

Monstaliner was developed for pickup truck owners seeking a high performance alternative to expensive spray-in bed liners. Over 4 years of extensive laboratory testing and field evaluations have shown Monstaliner to outlast and outperform every do-it-yourself coating compared.

How long does Monstaliner take to install?
A complete do-it-yourself installation should take a total of 6 to 9 hours including 3 to 5 hours drying time between coats. Total working time not including down time for drying is approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Can I use my truck right away?
No, Monstaliner needs to dry at least 8 hours or preferably overnight before driving the vehicle. Allow 3 days for light use and 7 days for normal use of the bed.

How thick does Monstaliner go on?
Two rolled coats provides over 40 dry mils. (Thickness of a dime)

How tough is Monstaliner?
Monstaliner has been engineered to withstand years of heavy duty use. It is flexible and impact resistant and designed not to crack, flake or peel. It is unaffected by sun so it won't fade, chalk or discolor. Monstaliner is also resistant to damage from gasoline and most chemicals and solvents.

What kind of warranty does Monstaliner offer?
Monstaliner is guaranteed not to fade, chalk or discolor under normal exposure to sunlight (UV) for a period of 5 years. We also warranty the product against faulty manufacture and defective materials. Since the products use, application and surface preparation methods are beyond our control, we cannot accept liability for application or use of the product. Our sole responsibility under this guarantee in connection with the sale and use of this material, shall be the return of the purchase price of the material or optionally, replacement of the material, if proven defective. Neither labor costs nor any consequential damages are covered by this warranty.

Is Monstaliner repairable?
Yes, Monstaliner adheres very well to itself. If you damage your bed, repair kits are available at a reasonable cost.

Do I need to remove my tailgate and hardware?
We do advise removing all hardware and your tailgate. It makes for a much cleaner job and easier taping of the gate. You will likely need a set of “Torx” Bits to remove some bolts and hardware. Allow the coating to dry overnight before re-installing the hardware and tailgate.

What should I do if my bed is rusted?
Wash and clean the bed. Allow to dry. Scrape and remove any loose or flaking rust and paint. Prep the remainder of the bed as explained in the Installation Guide. Solvent wipe all rusted areas with MEK. Prime rusted areas with two coats of Magnet Paints Chassis Saver™ #934 Silver-Aluminum Rust Preventive Paint. After the second coat, allow Chassis Saver to dry overnight and proceed with your Monstaliner installation.

I want to spray Monstaliner. What do I need to know?
You'll need an inexpensive undercoating gun commonly called a “Shutz” and access to an air compressor. You must cover the entire vehicle to protect from overspray. When you tape off your edges, attach plastic drop cloths or masking paper under the back side of the tape so the protective material can hang down over the outer sides of the bed to the ground. Cover the entire vehicle regardless of how neat you think you are. Follow all precautions involved when using automotive paints and isocyanates. A respirator must be worn while spraying.

What is Monstaliner made from?
Monstaliner is made from military grade, UV permanent, highly cross linked aliphatic polymers and moisture impermeable ceramic reinforcement.

Does Monstaliner come in colors other than black?
Yes Monstaliner is now available in black plus 38 colors. Colors are not available on ebay. Please visit the Monstaliner web site for more information and pricing.

How long does it take Monstaliner to dry?
Your first coat will dry to recoat in 3 to 5 hours depending on temperature and humidity. After the second (final) coat, your bed will be ready for light service in 24 hours. Allow 3 days for light, non-abusive use and 7 days for full cure and normal use. Since Monstaliner is a moisture curing urethane, the curing process begins when the catalyst is added and the coating is exposed to atmospheric moisture. Therefore, with higher humidity, curing time is shorter. Warmer temperatures will also accelerate cure time verses colder temperature lengthening cure time.

How thick should it be applied?
Monstaliner is designed to be installed as 2 coats with a combined dry film thickness of up to 40 mils. 1 gallon covers 60 sq ft in 2 coats and is enough to complete a 6 foot pickup bed or 2 door Wrangler Jeep tub. The goal when beginning an installation is roll the first coat thin to just cover the surface and save as much material for the 2nd coat where it can be applied heavy to create the texture. 2 coats must be applied for correct appearance and protection. Kits come in 1 and 2 gallon sizes. The 2 gallon kit is recommended for 8-foot pickup beds.

What is the difference between Monstaliner and other do-it-yourself bed liners?
Monstaliner is 100% UV Permanent and contains no ground tire rubber which other products use for texture and as cheap filler. Monstaliner is formulated from military grade urethane polymers similar to adhesives used in aerospace. High grade ceramic reinforcement creates an impenetrable barrier to moisture and provides outstanding impact and corrosion resistance. Monstaliner carries a 5 year warranty against fading and loss of color and is engineered to last and look great long after competitive products have failed. (see product comparisons below)

What is the difference between Monstaliner and spray-in bed liners?
The major difference is cost followed by dry film thickness. Monstaliner costs about 1/3 the price of most spray installations and is designed for the do-it-yourself market to achieve truly professional results at significant savings. The dry film thickness of Monstaliner is about 1/3 that of many spray-in products but provides more than enough protection for 90% of all trucks on or off the road.

I have Herculiner in my bed. Can I coat over it with Monstaliner?
Yes. Gently wire brush the surface to remove any loose rubber particles and embedded dirt. Wash the bed thoroughly with a water base degreaser followed by trisodium phosphate (TSP) in hot water. Use a stiff scrub brush with the TSP and flush the bed thoroughly with clean water and let dry completely overnight. You are now ready to install Monstaliner.
 

Competitive Product Comparisons – D.I.Y. Bed Liners

Over the past 10 years, many new bed liner coatings have come to market. With the exception of few, most products are designed for spray application and are not optimized as roll-on products. Listed below, you will find the items considered to be do-it-yourself coatings but they are far from professional and consistent in their appearance. Monstaliner™ is the only D.I.Y. product on the market that is capable of providing professional looking results with roller installation and is UV Permanent as well.

1) Herculiner holds the top spot and admittedly has poor UV stability leaving many truck owners disappointed when the product looks like trash in just a few months. Contains a heavy concentration of crumb rubber and despite its deficiencies, continues to sell well. The company now offers a UV topcoat protectant to keep it "looking new" as their website says. Manufactured in South Africa for Old World Industries who owns Peak brand antifreeze. Herculiner is an aromatic (non UV stable) moisture cure urethane. Kit contains 1 gallon of coating, roller, brush, scuff pad and can opener - Approx $90.00

2) Durabak is manufactured by the same company that makes Herculiner and comes in two versions, one with no UV stability and the second version does claim to be UV stable for 50% to 60% higher price. Both contain crumb rubber and are moisture cure urethanes. 1 gallon includes roller - $80.00 for non-UV product / $130.00 for UV stable product.

3) Rustoleum Road Warrior is a two component epoxy product also claiming to “fade over time due to the suns ultra-violet rays”. Directions say to use a spray protectant to restore the original look. A kit contains ¾ gallon of pigmented epoxy polymer and 1 quart of curing agent, roller, sanding block, drill mix blade, brush - $110.00

4) Duplicolor is by far the lowest cost product on the market and the quality is indicative of its price. Not much more to say other than it is also available in a spray can? Chemical composition is a vinyl chloride polymer. Sold in gallons for $60.00 with roller kit sold separately at $13.00
