ArmorThane VS Line-X: Which to Choose?

ArmorThane

ArmorThane offers a variety of bedliner materials for your body shop. They have pure polyurea, polyurea hybrids, and polyurethane systems for truck bedliners. It seems they have five main products that are available in 5 gallon and drum set quantities. These range from 100% pure polyurea to 60 (polyurea) / 40 (polyurethane) ratios.

ArmorThane Pricing:

The prices are the most reasonable in the business, and there is no startup or franchise fee. ArmorThane's business structure is built around customer service and making each reseller succeed. They sell their equipment at the bottom dollar price to get you started and also set you up with marketing material to help you bring in business.

Colors: 7 colors (pewter[grey], dark grey, light grey, blue, green, red, )

Line-X

Line-X offers a high pressure pure 100% polyurea solution for bedliners and industrial coatings primarily. They have a fair product that has gone down in quality over the years as they have expanded more and put more focus on their marketing rather than fine-tuning the products that made them a flourishing business. Their business model is different than ArmorThane in the sense that they have strong franchise agreements, whereas ArmorThane is a pure distributor of high-grade bedliner in volume. Line-X has opportunities for someone looking for a turnkey resolution for pure polyurea that has a considerable sum of startup money.

Starting a Line-X franchise business can cost upwards of $100,000 dollars! There are poignant franchise agreements and expensive equipment costs to get started.

Not available Colors: No colors as far as we can tell, though we have seen a few images with colors

Notes:

Line-X is a prime quality product. However, the franchise contract is quite meticulous. Applicators can potentially turn a profit if they can ever get the original debt they take on paid off. As with any company, opportunity failure is commonplace. ArmorThane is a superior solution for the body shop or contractor who is looking for a low-cost startup with instant profit potential.
