Is InduroPro
Worth It?
For equipment owners, fleet managers, and auction houses — here is what the numbers, the field data, and real operators say.
Yes. And the Math Makes It Obvious.
A professional repaint on heavy equipment runs $1,500 to $10,000 or more per cycle. InduroPro is $1,199 for full machine coverage with a 5-year guarantee. For fleet managers it means more machines in the rental pool. For equipment owners it means stronger bids at auction. For anyone running iron outdoors it means less money in the paint shop.
Up to 150 sqft. One application day. 5-year guarantee against UV, rust, corrosion, and coating failure.
What InduroPro Does to a Machine Before It Hits the Auction Block
The Volvo SD115B arrived at JM Wood Auction Company in Montgomery, AL heavily faded. UV exposure had depleted the yellow chassis finish and oxidized all exposed metal surfaces. The front bumper had taken impact damage, leaving pitted metal that required a spray paint coat before InduroPro could be applied over it. Chase and Allen applied two 17oz kits and one 8.5oz kit in a single day. By end of day the machine was tack-free, sealed, and ready for the auction floor. The 5-year guarantee transfers to the next owner.
What a Machine Looks Like at Auction Affects What It Sells For
Buyers Price In Cosmetic Wear Before They Walk Around the Machine
Faded paint, oxidized surfaces, and pitted metal signal neglect regardless of mechanical condition. Bidders factor in repainting costs and dealers discount for appearance before the inspection even starts.
Protecting Cosmetics Almost Always Pays Off at Resale
Industry appraisers and resale guides confirm cosmetic condition affects price. Equipment that looks maintained holds value. Equipment that looks neglected leaves money on the table before the bid even opens.
InduroPro Closes the Gap in One Application Day
Restores gloss. Seals oxidized finishes. Protects against the rust, UV, and chemicals that continue degrading surfaces after resale. The 5-year guarantee transfers to the next owner.
The Longer a Machine Stays in the Rental Pool, the More Revenue It Generates
Chris Mason at United Rentals coated three machines with InduroPro: a Generac MDG25 generator, a Genie 45Z boom lift, and a Sullair 185 air compressor. Equipment that does not degrade stays in the rental pool longer, generates more revenue per unit, and costs less to maintain between rentals.
Coated before entering rental fleet. Full painted surfaces, grill, frame skirt, and axle protection.

Yates Industries Repaints. Then Seals the Investment with InduroPro.
Yates Industries in Decatur, AL resurfaces and repaints hydraulic cylinders as standard maintenance. These cylinders operate in saltwater environments — one of the most corrosive conditions a metal surface can face. After every repaint they apply InduroPro over the fresh paint, sealing the finish against the saltwater, UV, rust, and corrosion that would otherwise restart the degradation clock. Two 17oz kits. One application day. The repaint is protected for a minimum of 5 years.

InduroPro isn't a wipe-on ceramic or a repaint. It's a two-part epoxy that chemically bonds to metal and painted surfaces at the molecular level. Learn exactly how it works.
