De-Nib & Polish

SPECIAL NOTATION:

Refinished panels may or may not require a varying amount of de-nibbing, a process used to remove small particles in final finish surface. The clear coat contains ultraviolet screeners and reducing the clear coat thickness (mils) may result in early paint failure. Follow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations when performing this type of repairs. Calculations should be based upon the base refinish time outer surface only and should not include additions for clear coat, underside, inside or edges. In the event that this type of operation will be performed, MOTOR suggests the following formula be considered:

 

 Each panel requiring de-nibbing (refinish or blend)

 HOOD, ROOF, TRUNK LID, SPOILER

 First panel add up to 20% of full base refinish time, each additional panel add up to10%

 FENDER, DOOR, QUARTER PANEL, BUMPER COVER

 First panel add up to 10% of full base refinish time, each additional panel add up to 5%
