SCRS M embers,

CCC Procedure Page Tip - Refinish Overlap on Grille: DEG Inquiry 10893 identified that the CCC estimating system was taking a refinish labor overlap deduction on a grille that was a separate color from the vehicle body. "If the grille and hood are two different colors, then they are two separate procedures like a bumper. Except the clear coat is a matte finish."
 
No overlap deduction should be taken when calculating refinish time for items from this category. 

Please note:
  • The estimating system is not able to determine if the part is a different color or if it's refinished during a procedure separate from the main component. 
  • This will require a manual deletion of the "Refinish Overlap" if the part is a different color or if it's refinished during a procedure separate from the main component.
  • A combination of items from this category refinished during a single, continuous procedure should be subject to the appropriate "Adjacent" or "Non-Adjacent" overlap formula deduction.
  Refer to Inquiry 10893 for further details. 


The estimating databases are all intended to be used as a GUIDE ONLY - it is important to remember that the auto body professional performing the repair is in a position to thoroughly inspect, diagnose and identify the methodology and their unique cost of the vehicle damage repair.
