With Paint Refinish "PAINT REFINISH" applies to paint repair of a panel or specified section of a panel when paint damage is of such a nature that the undercoat is disturbed or removed during the sanding operation, usually resulting in the exposure of several bare metal areas. Paint refinish operations require sanding, cleaning panel of contaminants (oil, wax, silicone, etc.) masking the area as necessary, priming, filling when necessary, sanding primer, sealing, applying color and buff polish when dry. Paint refinish operations would be used when correcting any conditions extending into or through the paint undercoats.
The refinish labor time allowance includes time to spot prime up to 50% of the panel or panels involved. Removal of more than 50% of the complete finish from a panel is considered stripping. In these unusual cases, where stripping is required, an additional time and material allowance (equal to 25% of the existing refinish time and material allowance) must be included in the authorization as additional labor. Additional labor must appear in the other hours column of the Warranty Claim Document. Additional materials are summed and entered in the N-P-N Items Column of the Warranty Claim Document.

The labor time allowances provided in the Paint Sections include time for cleaning, preparing, and finishing the particular area involved. The letters below each Labor Time is the "Material Indicator". This indicator represents the amount of mixed paint reduced to spraying consistency as well as additional supplies needed such as sandpaper, masking tape, paper, primer, surface fillers, etc. needed for each paint operation. Spot/Partial Panel Repair "SPOT REPAIR" applies to paint repair of an area (up to 150 sq.
in.) that may result in the undercoat being disturbed or removed during the sanding operation, possibly resulting in exposure of bare metal. These repair operations may require sanding, cleaning of contaminants (oil, wax, silicone, etc.) masking and priming as necessary, sanding primer, sealing, applying color, clear coat and buff polish when dry. 07/26/2007
