Paul Manley-Speedliner® Dealer Since 1998
“My name is Paul Manley. I’ve been in business for 14 years. I used to sub-out my spray in liners to a different company. [We recently started installing] SPEEDLINER® and [are currently] doing it on the premises, in house. What I find to be exciting about the SPEEDLINER® is the strength…and durability. The problems that we had with the fade out with the other liners we were subbing to, we don’t have that problem with the SPEEDLINER®. It stays a good natural color. As far as the installing it, its easy to install. It [can be] mobile if you want to take it mobile. The sky is the limit. We haven’t stopped at the spray in liners. We actually spray it on grill guards, toolboxes, nerf bars. Right now, we are trying to set up a contract, with the Coast Guard to [coat] the buoys, so the sky is the limit. It’s been a blessing to take’em aboard. They’re a good outfit to work with and they’ll do anything they can to help you out, and that means a lot to my business.”

“Another good thing about it is the simplicity of spraying the material. I was a little paranoid about high pressure and plural systems. So I thought, well I’ll start out with the simplest one I can find. [SPEEDLINER®] was simple. Mix a couple of parts, its already pre-measured. Very, very simple. After we got going with it, after a year, I looked at all the competitors again. After looking, going to other shops, I’m not about to change. Very, very simple. My spray is super-consistent. The product is holding up stronger than I even advertise it for holding up and that’s been a big deal”.
Brian 2:
“Just about the time you think you’ve done every kind of spray on a truck, somebody will walk in and ask you to spray their nerf bars. Once you’ve done one, the word gets out. Then somebody is going to want you to do their tailgate protector. All of a sudden you’re doing a toolbox, bedrails, bedcaps, nerf bars, grill guards and you [are spraying] everything on a truck. Whatever color they want, you can match. Let your imagination lead you down the road and you’ll stay busy doing all kinds of custom accessories”.
Brian 3:
Another thing I’ve really, really enjoyed with it is we’re getting dealer backup. There’s all types of things to put into my showroom. So when people walk in, if I’m busy, there’s things for them to look at. There’s things to read. I get samples. It makes my sale very, very easy. [SPEEDLINER®] will sell itself. And to me, that’s another big thing. I’m growing in a lot of avenues and people can come in and [SPEEDLINER®] sells itself”.
Tim Hall - Speedliner® Dealer Since 2001
“In January of 2001, I began looking for a better spray liner product. After researching all the possibilities, I chose SPEEDLINER®. As a small business, it just made sense. They allowed me to try their product without having to commit to some huge inventory or lease package.
I invested about $400 to try it out. Today, my SPEEDLINER® sales are up over $50,000 a year. Not bad for a $400 investment!
To any shop owner considering getting started in the spray liner business or just looking for a better spray liner product, you have to try SPEEDLINER®. The initial investment is a fraction of other franchise startups. Plus, product for product you just can’t beat SPEEDLINER®. It has lived up to all its claims!
I enjoy doing business with [the SPEEDLINER® Team]. They have good service, excellent phone support, and I get free marketing materials for my shop with every purchase.”
“I’m extremely happy [with SPEEDLINER®]. I wish I would have known about the SPEEDLINER® system sooner.
“[SPEEDLINER®] has helped us grow in various directions. For example, it accents our sales of vehicle accessories. But the main thing is that because it’s such a quality product, it supports the quality image that we want for our shop overall. Satisfied customers come back to us for their other needs.”
Mike Herrera - Speedliner® Dealer Since 2001
Before deciding on a spray bedliner product, we researched about every product on the market. We didn’t want to make a large financial commitment up front, so we went with SPEEDLINER® for its low startup package of about $400.
We tried it on one truck. It was easy to install and the finished product was excellent. Immediately, I knew we made the right choice.
We started with one truck, now we do between 9 and 17 trucks every week!
If you are looking to get into the liner business, SPEEDLINER® is definitely the way to go. The product is excellent and you can’t put a price on their service.
I also get free promotional items every time I place an order.
As a new business or as an addition to an existing business, I would advise anyone to try SPEEDLINER®.”
