Your estimate
Do I need coatings experience to start?
No. ArmorThane training covers material chemistry, safety, surface preparation, machine setup, spray technique, equipment care and troubleshooting. Many successful applicators come from construction, concrete, painting, plumbing or municipal maintenance backgrounds.
Are there franchise fees or royalties?
ArmorThane is not a franchise. There are no franchise fees, no royalties and no long-term contracts — you own your business and keep what you earn.
How much does it cost to get started?
Spray packages start around $25,000 and scale up to fully equipped mobile coatings units that are quoted to your build. Third-party equipment financing is available. Your discovery call will match equipment to the work you plan to target.
Where does training happen?
Hands-on training is delivered at your location by an ArmorThane technician, and virtual e-training is available so your team can learn and refresh at its own pace.
Who buys wastewater coatings work?
Municipal public works departments, sewer and sanitary districts, utilities, consulting engineers, general contractors and industrial plant owners all buy rehabilitation and protective lining work.
What support do I get after training?
Technical support by call or text 24/7 for the life of your business, a dealers-only portal with manuals, tech tips, data sheets and videos, plus marketing materials and referral inquiries.
Do I get a protected territory?
Qualifying fixed-location dealers can receive an exclusive territory sized to the population their equipment and product line can serve. Ask about availability in your area during your discovery call.
