Must depend on the operator and/or the tire machine. I bought 4 new tires at local Discount Tire. There was a very small nick of the Plasti-coat at the bead on one. Not sure they did it or not but I just followed the repair process and it is as good as new. Plastic-coat has some Youtube videos on how to apply and repair the material.
