Clear Coat Finishes (Base Coat / Clear Coat)

SPECIAL NOTATION:

The following items or operations were not considered during the development of any published basic refinish operation times. If any of these items or operations are required, they should be considered by the estimator. Calculations should be made after deductions for Overlap, and additions for underside and edges if required. It should be noted that it is not possible to sand, de-nib & polish, or rub-out and buff a matte clear finish, without changing the finish from matte to gloss. Therefore, a refinishing booth without airborne contaminants is required for this operation.
