CLEAR COAT UNDAMAGED PANEL
SPECIAL NOTATION:
Calculations for clear coating an undamaged panel are based upon the outer surface only and should not include additions for underside, inside, or edges of the clear-coated panel. There should be no overlap deduction between refinished or clear-coated panel(s), nor should this procedure be applied towards the maximum clear coat allocation. Clear coating may be necessary for adjacent body panel(s) to nearest break point (see Refinish Clear Coat Application). The following formula may be considered in the event this type of procedure is required on an undamaged panel.
• Each clear coated panel(s)
40% of panels Base Refinish Time
