Abstract: An applicator tool for coating a bore includes a tubular body and an inflatable bladder. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end opposing the proximal end along a longitudinal axis. The tubular body also includes an expansion portion proximate the distal end and an internal volume in relation to the expansion portion. The inflatable bladder disposed within the internal volume of the tubular body in relation to the expansion portion. A method for coating a bore includes inserting an expansion portion of an applicator tool into the bore. A coating material having been previously disposed on the expansion portion. The method also includes applying a pressurized fluid to the applicator tool to expand the expansion portion within the bore and rotating the applicator tool to apply the coating material from the expansion portion to the bore. A system that includes the applicator tool is also disclosed.
