Buy a Black Optix Tint Franchise

Black Optix Tint is an automotive restyling and window tinting franchise serving automotive, residential, and commercial customers. The brand was founded in 2014 by Randal Moore in Richmond, Virginia, growing from a single shop into a multi-state system, and began franchising in 2022.

The model is built around a brick-and-mortar showroom and installation bay, run by a hands-on owner with a small installer team. Units offer five service lines under one roof: automotive window tinting, residential and commercial tinting, paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coatings and detailing, and car and marine audio. Fast install times support high vehicle throughput, and franchisees work within protected territories serving both retail customers and B2B accounts such as dealerships.

In 2025, Black Optix Tint joined United Franchise Group as part of its Starpoint Brands division, alongside Signarama and Fully Promoted, gaining UFG’s franchising infrastructure and buying power. Founder Randal Moore remains involved. The network spans states including Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Utah.

Why buy a Black Optix Tint Franchise?

A Black Optix Tint franchise offers a multi-service automotive customization model in a category supported by steady consumer spending on vehicle styling and protection. Rather than relying on one service, owners cross-sell tinting, paint protection film, ceramic coatings, detailing, and audio to the same customers, creating several ways to build revenue per visit.

The brick-and-mortar, territory-protected model gives owners a defined local market and a recognizable premium brand. Backing from United Franchise Group adds decades of franchising experience, negotiated supplier pricing, and national marketing support that an independent tint shop would have to assemble alone. The brand also runs a veteran program with a discounted franchise fee.

Black Optix Tint – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training is a four-week, dual-phase program: weeks one and two cover business management and operations at headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, then two weeks of on-site training and launch at the owner's location. Prospective owners also attend a Discovery Day. Ongoing support spans marketing assistance (SEO, paid ads, and social), sales and recruiting help, inventory management, unit operations, and negotiated purchasing discounts through United Franchise Group. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and HQ system access the franchisor provides when ownership changes, and the certification of existing installers.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Black Optix Tint suits a hands-on, customer-facing operator who wants to be present in daily shop operations rather than a passive investor. Owners recruit and manage a small installer team, oversee quality and scheduling, and build local B2B relationships with dealerships. Tinting or automotive experience helps but is not required, since the franchisor trains incoming owners. The model rewards people who are detail-oriented, sales-minded, and comfortable delivering a premium, showroom-based experience. An executive or GM-led structure is possible for owners who prefer to manage rather than install.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Black Optix Tint has built its reputation through quality installations and customer service, growing from a single Richmond, Virginia shop into a multi-state franchise across more than 50 territories. In 2025 the brand was acquired into United Franchise Group's Starpoint Brands division, joining established franchises such as Signarama and Fully Promoted. It is a member of the International Franchise Association and participates in the VetFran veteran-incentive program. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific unit's local reviews, referral sources, and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Black Optix Tint operates in the U.S. automotive restyling and customization market, valued at roughly $10.5 billion. Demand is driven by consumers investing more in vehicle appearance, comfort, and protection, including window tinting, paint protection film, and ceramic coatings, which have shifted from niche add-ons to mainstream upgrades. The category benefits from a large vehicle base, year-round service demand, and B2B work through dealerships. For resale buyers, local demand depends on vehicle density, climate, and competition, so reviewing a specific territory's customer base matters.
