Dealer FAQ

 

How much does it cost
to be an "Authorized Scorpion Applicator"?

Just $1,500.00. You can even lease our deluxe startup package for
$2,500.00
(that's less than $140.00 per month for 24 months!) and receive extra chemical. There is also our “Dealer Package” that goes for $8,500 and is designed specifically for car dealerships. If none of these are appealing, we can design a package especially for you!

How much does it cost to be an authorized OEM applicator of Scorpion ben liner?
See our OEM start-up flyer that lists equipment, materials, and optional items that an OEM could use. An OEM can get started for as little as $800.00 with enough material to coat 180-230 ft².

Besides the training I get from you, what else will I need to install Scorpion
Bed Liners?

Items You Will Need

  • Wooden Paint Sticks
  • 1 Roll of 10' X 100' Clear
    2-4 Mil. Visqueen
  • 1 Roll of High quality 2"
    Masking Tape
  • 1 Roll of High quality 1"
    Masking Tape
  • 1 ~ Variable Speed ½ Inch Drill
  • 1 Air Compressor Capable of Delivering 17.5 CFM of Air At 90 PSI (Normally a 7.5 electric 2 stage compressor with 80 gal. storage or better.)
  • Disposable Rubber Gloves
  • 1 Package of 30 Grit Sandpaper
  • 1 Gallon of Denatured Alcohol
  • Various Small Tools Such as Pliers, Screwdriver, Vice grips, etc.
  • 1 painters chemical cartridge respirator

    you probably have most of it.

I see the 9-gallon kits on your website. Do you offer material in 55 gallon drums or totes for a reduced price for high volume manufacturers?
At this time we only package our material in 9-gallon and 1-gallon kits. Most of our OEM's prefer the smaller packaging for ease of handling, storage, and to ensure they are keeping fresh material in stock. Contact us with your anticipated usage and we will discuss large quantity price breaks.

What type of training does Scorpion offer OEM's?
An extensive training DVD comes with your applicator manual. If the DVD does not satisfy your needs, you can send your staff to our HQ for an 8-hour class at no charge. If you want one of our technicians to come to your location and train, there is a small fee to cover travel, lodging, and field time.

 

Scorpion Coatings Dealer FAQ

Do I need a paint booth?
No, the Scorpion product is environmentally very safe - VOC levels are well below federal standards. There are no harsh chemicals such as Toluene or MEK used in Scorpion products. However, some localities have different regulations, check with local officials to be sure.

Do I need to wear a mask when spraying Scorpion?
Absolutely!!!! A standard painter's respirator will do nicely. Also, your spray area needs powered ventilation - an open window is not good enough. A filtered exhaust capable of changing the air 4 times per hour does a great job making your spray area safe.

How does the Scorpion Bed Liner System compare to bed liners from company’s whose systems cost up to $50,000? Is it as tough?
Scorpion is one of the highest performing materials available. It is extremely tough. Absolutely, but you be the judge. You have a sample. Cut on it - beat on it - whatever. It’s resistant to most chemicals and it’s extremely UV stable. Unlike a lot of bed liners, no yearly recoating is required. "Toughness" is a combination of several factors: hardness, tensile strength, flexibility, and bond. Scorpion has a hardness is measured at a "Shore A Hardness" of 88. This is comparable to any bed liner in the business. In terms of tensile strength and elasticity, Scorpion bed liners are better than most - if another bed liner says it’s better - we would love to compare actual test results. As far as bond is concerned, our bond is second to none. Again - you have the sample -
satisfy yourself.

But how can the Scorpion System be so good and yet be so easy and inexpensive?
It’s all about new technology versus old technology. Scorpion simply takes advantage of a lot of new technology - chemistry has changed a lot in the last 5 years and continues to change. We are really proud of our research and development efforts. We have a huge technology lead and we work hard every day to keep us out in front. If we stay out in front - you’ll stay out in front.

After I become a
Scorpion dealer, how do
I order product?

Simply call, email, fax, or use our website to send your order in. We accept VISA, Discover, and MasterCard. Orders received after noon EST will be shipped the next day. We ship by UPS for small lots, or if you want to really save money, order in large enough lots for us to ship by FedEx Freight.

You’ve told us all the positives - what are
the negatives?

You’re asking the wrong people. We don’t think there are any.
