IMPORTANT REMINDER: Refinish times are for NEW, UNDAMAGED PARTS without exterior or interior trim or attached components. Refinish times may vary depending on individual procedures, product and/or weather conditions.
A small percentage of colors are identified by the paint manufacturers as highly transparent. These colors may require additional application coats to achieve visual hiding. In instances where four or more color coats are necessary to achieve adequate hiding, some adjustment in refinish times may be appropriate.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: The cost of paint and materials is not included in refinish time.
NOTE: Gravel Guard application and appropriate refinish may be necessary beyond the actual replacement area to achieve a "texture" match.
It may be necessary to tint or otherwise modify non-exterior colors applied to undersides, edges and/or jambs for which there is no paint color formula to achieve a color match. When necessary, reference "color match or tinting" listed above in Not Included Operations.
