NEW OPPORTUNITIES
IN A CLASSIC INDUSTRY

The automotive industry has been dynamic and exciting since its conception. From the Ford Model T to modern supercars, year after year we’ve seen new innovations that reimagine our work trucks, camper vans, daily drivers, and prized possessions. Today, many such innovations are found within the realm of automotive accessories, allowing people to customize their vehicles for personalized style and functionality. For dealerships and other automotive businesses, the accessory market has been a cash cow, as they’re widely sought after by consumers, easy to incorporate, and enjoy large margins.

Among the many exciting automotive accessory opportunities are protective coatings, namely including polyurea spray elastomer technology, or simply, polyurea. polyurea coatings are both strong and flexible, and come in customizable colors and finishes that make it the ultimate solution for improving a vehicle’s style and protection simultaneously. Polyurea’s ease of application and application versatility have seen it used for many popular modifications, quickly shooting to the top of the list of most popular automotive accessories.

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF ADDING ARMORTHANE COATINGS
TO YOUR AUTOMOTIVE ACCESSORY BUSINESS

The benefits inherent to polyurea protective coatings are complemented by the advantages of partnering with a leader in the coatings industry. We at ArmorThane are proud of our legacy of product quality and customer service, and distill our more than 35 years in business into every collaboration. With polyurea’s exceptional physical properties and ArmorThane’s unmatched knowledge, expertise, and full suite capabilities, your automotive business can reap the benefits of myriad exciting automotive accessory opportunities.

EXPANDED REACH

The vast size and scale of the automotive industry, and even just the aftermarket accessories industry, means that potential customers are often siloed into many specific sub industries and products. To help expand your reach, offering in demand and multipurpose automotive accessories like polyurea can help capture more market share and funnel customers to additional automotive products and services. Whether truck drivers, track racers, car collectors or anything in between, polyurea protective coatings offer a compelling solution to solve many different consumer challenges that exceed expectations every time.

COMPLEMENTARY
PRODUCTS

Many automotive accessories stand alone; their role or function exists in isolation, and doesn’t offer to improve other accessories or key vehicle components. ArmorThane’s polyurea coatings can be used to protect truck bedliners, rocker panels, running boards, wheel arches, and numerous other parts. This means that incorporating polyurea into your product catalog isn’t just another accessory added to the list, but is an opportunity to provide unique services or enhance existing automotive accessories.

HIGHER PROFIT MARGINS

Protective coatings like polyurea are highly in demand and viewed as valuable additions for laymen and automotive enthusiasts alike. This high value is reflected in the retail cost, supported by the training and certification required to develop the skills to install high-performance automotive coatings. Together, this means that offering ArmorThane coatings to your suite of automotive accessories is a quick and easy way to realize higher profit margins and more satisfied customers.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Some automotive accessories are simple plug and play solutions, and can even be installed by customers themselves. However, advanced technologies like polyurea require professional training and certification, and even the most experienced applicators can use a helping hand at times. ArmorThane’s high-quality protective coatings come with lifetime technical support and some of the industry’s best training programs, meaning you don’t just have a new supplier, but a true partner to help you achieve your business goals.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

It all comes down to this: competitive advantage. Surviving, let alone thriving in the automotive industry, means finding new and interesting ways to standout from your competitors and give your customers compelling reasons to choose your business time and time again. To this end, the large size and scope of the automotive industry is a double edged sword; it creates ample opportunities, but also creates a highly competitive market. Incorporating unique offerings at the highest quality can help position your business as a leader and innovator, achieving that competitive advantage sought by any healthy business.

ARMORTHANE AUTOMOTIVE BEDLINER PACKAGE

Bedlining, whether more traditional truck bedliners or the more recently innovated bedliner paint jobs, is among the most popular coatings-based applications to hit the automotive industry. For truck bedliners, polyurea serves to create a durable barrier that insulates truck beds from the weathering and abrasion inherent to their function. Bedliner paint jobs take this same protection, and apply it to the entire vehicle; not only does this serve to keep surfaces safe from forceful impacts, harsh abrasion, and chemical corrosion, but is increasingly chosen as a more functional and unique alternative to vinyl car wraps and specialty paints. To help capitalize on bedlining opportunities, we’ve created the ArmorThane Automotive Bedliner Package. This specialty package is the perfect solution for dealerships or accessory businesses that already own a larger air system, and includes a highly affordable pneumatic high-pressure spray system. In one convenient place, you’ll have everything you need to make bedlining a focal point of your accessories business! To learn more about bedlining opportunities or begin the process of integrating ArmorThane coatings into your automotive business, become a bedliner applicator today!
