Dealership FAQs
What type of Equipment do you use? Is it a “high” or “low” pressured system?
We use custom built Glas-Craft Equipment - reputable US manufacturers of high pressure equipment systems. All our systems come with a complete warranty and our experienced technicians know their every nut, bolt, seal and hose.
Does your spray gun have a trigger?
Yes, we use the Probler P2 spray gun, a workhorse of the urethane industry for the last 25 years.
What are the differences between your gun and others on the market?
We use the same gun that most of the other high pressure systems use. Compared to the low pressure systems, our system is more efficient, using at least 1/2 gallon less material per truck. You do not have the time delay with changing mixing tubes after each application or the cost associated with the change. A triggered gun makes the job much easier for the applicator. Also, the mixing tubes of low pressure systems cost $2 - $3, adding thousands of dollars to your operating costs over the year.
What’s the difference between High and Low pressure machines?
The primary differences are:

1. High pressure systems spray at 1500 - 2000 PSI, while low pressure systems typically spray at 500 - 700 PSI.
2. Low pressure systems use air to atomize the material, high pressure uses heat and pressure, producing a finer more even texture.
3. High pressure systems use a trigger controlled spray gun. Low pressure systems typically use a continuous flow gun with a mixing tube and do not have a trigger on the gun.
4. The use of a triggered gun saves at least 1/2 gallon of material per application. This adds up to a large amount of material costs per year.
Does your equipment heat the material or do you spray cold?
Our equipment has electronically controlled heaters that heat the material to a set temperature, usually 140°F. This lowers viscosity of the product giving you a finer textured bedliner.
What’s the difference between your high pressure equipment and others on the market?
Most of the high pressure systems are very similar. We have been in the business of sprayed bedliners since 1991 and as a result of our experience, we find it important to include in our package a number of additional features that make the overall system easier to use. These upgrades include a swing arm, gun swivels, and an integrated color system, to name a few.
What are the electrical requirements of your equipment?
30A - 50A, 220 volt, single or three phase power. Depending on the system you choose.
What are the air requirements of your machine?
20 - 30 CFM at 100 PSI depending on the system you choose.
How long is your hose, and how long can it be?
Our standard hose is 50’. You can have up to a 300’ hose
What is the capacity of your machine?
Our spray system has a maximum output of 22 lbs (10 kg) per minute.
Is your equipment portable?
Yes. Our equipment is easily loaded into a truck or trailer for on-site applications.
What does it take to go mobile?
You need power and air at the job site. If it is not available, simply rent a generator and compressor and bill the rental to the job.
How much material do you spray on a truck?
Spraying a bedliner requires 3 - 5 gallons of material, depending on the size of the truck bed and if over-rail protection is applied.
Is your material Polyurethane or Polyurea?
Our material is a hybrid blend of Polyurethanes and Polyureas. Most of the products on the market that are described as Polyureas are actually hybrids. The truth is that each material has its benefits and strengths and a blend offers you the best of both products.
What percentage of your material is Polyurea?
Just like a good cook, we will not divulge our ingredients. However just ask any of our applicators if they would like us to change the recipe/formula. The answer will be a resounding NO!
Why is your material any better than your competitors?
Our material out performs others for the following reasons:

• “User Friendliness”. It can be sprayed in virtually any climate or under any weather conditions.
• It is slow enough that it “wets” into body seams, but fast enough not to run or sag.
• It produces a great looking texture, not the typical dry looking finish.
• Has physical properties that are higher than most other bedliner products.
• Uses a very heavy loading of high-grade pigment, giving it a rich black color that resists chalking longer than any other black bedliner we know of.
Is high pressure material better than low pressure material?
Not necessarily. As with all things there are trade offs. The softer, low pressure material gives a bit more grip, while the harder high pressure material is much more resistant to physical damage. This difference is especially important on hot days when the surface temperature of a black bedliner can reach 160°F in the sun. At these temperatures low pressure polyurethane material softens losing up to 50% of its strength. The harder high pressure polyurethane/polyurea hybrid material is less susceptible to the effects of temperature change.
How much money do I need to get started in the sprayed bedliner business?
This depends on the system you purchase and whether you will be starting a standalone operation, or adding the dealership to your existing business.

If you are adding to your existing business, you will need the cost of the initial package plus spray area, compressor, electrical and ventilation work. If you are setting up a standalone operation you will need to have in place enough funds to cover the initial package price, a facility, insurance, office and shop equipment, phone, desk, work bench, spray area, compressor, electrical and ventilation requirements. You should also have enough operating capital to sustain the business until it is generating enough positive cash flow to sustain itself.
Does Ameraguard® have a leasing program for the initial package purchase?
Ameraguard® can put a prospective dealer in touch with a number of credible leasing agencies familiar with our business. In many cases leasing is an attractive financing option which allows you to get into business for a small initial investment. Leasing Agencies typically require that you have been in business for two years and have a good credit rating.
How long have you been in business?
Ameraguard® was incorporated in 1991.
