Compare Armadillo to Line-X
Line-X offers primarily a high pressure pure 100% polyurea solution for bedliners and industrial coatings. They have a great product. Their business model is different than Armadillo in the sense that they have strong franchise agreements whereas Armadillo is a pure distributor of high grade bedliner in volume. Line-X has opportunities for someone looking for a turnkey solution for pure polyurea.
Line-X Pricing : Not available, but we know that there are very strict franchise agreements and expensive equipment costs to get started. You will spend upwards of $50,000 to get spraying with Line-X
Do it yourself : Not available
Colors : No colors as far as we can tell, though we have seen a few images with colors
Notes: Line-X is definitely a top quality product. However, the franchise agreement appears to be very strict from what we have heard. There are many satisfied dealers that turn a good profit. As with any business opportunity failure is common. Spray-Lining is a superior solution for the body shop or contractor who is looking for a low cost startup with immediate profit potential.
