The included operation of mask adjacent panels is inclusive of any necessary back tape masking to prevent overspray.

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.
