Collision Procedures:
Rust Proofing Labor:(Body wax) _____ Labor units for each panel and _____ Materials. This allowance should be capped out at a maximum of ____ units of labor per job and _____ per Materials per job.
Corrosion Protection:
Etch Primer prior to Seam Sealer _____Labor Units for EACH AREA being caulked and _____ for materials.
Weld thru Primer: _____Labor units for each panel being welded in and _____ for each _____ units of labor.
Prep to Install Welded Panels: This includes cleaning and removing the old welds, undercoats, seam sealers, body wax, etc. This is going to be a judgment time. However, some suggested times are listed below:
Examples:
Core Support:_____units of labor
Full Front Rail:_____units of labor
Section of Front Rail:_____units of labor
Apron Assembly:_____units of labor
Section of Apron Assembly:_____units of labor
Rocker Panel:_____units of labor
Floor Pan:_____units of labor
Quarter Panel:_____units of labor
Outer Wheel House:_____units of labor
Inner Wheel House:_____units of labor
Rear Body Panel:_____units of labor
Repair of Adjacent Welded Panels after removal of Damaged panel: This is going to be a judgment time.
Example: If you remove a rear body panel on a Honda, you will be required to straighten\repair the flanges of the rear frame rails, straighten\repair the floor and quarter panel areas where the previous rear body panel was welded in, etc. These panels will be damaged during the removal process. Therefore some labor allowance must be made to repair these adjacent panels that are damaged during the removal process.
Prep pinch welds before and after clamps:_____ units Body Labor
Vehicle Set up Time to mount a vehicle on the Drive on bench system: _____ units of
Frame Labor.
Manually\Mechanically Measure and Diagnose Damage prior to the repair process:
_____ Units of Frame Labor.
Computerized Measurement and Diagnosis of Damage prior to the repair process:
_____ Units of Frame Labor
Protect Interior Trim during the repair process: _____ Units of Labor\ _____ Materials
This includes bubble wrapping of any parts such as lights, or door trim panels.
Protect Vehicle during the repair process: _____units of labor and _____ Materials to include Collision Wrap to protect open areas after disassembly, seat covers, steering wheel covers, and floor mats.

Refinish Procedures:
Finish Sand and Buff: _____ of the basecoat labor. Materials calculated at _____ per unit.
Flex Additive: This is required on the refinishing of Plastic Parts.
_____ Units of Refinish Labor and the equivalent Materials.
Refinish Pinch Welds after Clamps:_____ units of paint labor and Materials.
Prep repaired areas for Paint: When there are ______units of repair labor per panel the estimator should calculate _____ unit of Refinish Prep Labor for each panel that has _____ units or less repair labor. If a panel has ______units of Repair labor then there should be _____ units and the equivalent materials, ______units = _____ Refinish Preparation units, etc.
Examples:
a)If a fender has _____ units damage and a door has _____ units of damaged there should be _____ units of Refinish Prep Labor and the equivalent materials because they are separate panels.
b)If a Quarter panel has _____ units of damage and a Door has _____ units of damage then the Refinish Preparation Labor charge should be _____ units of labor.
Prep Welded areas for Paint: When calculating Refinish Prep labor for Welded in panels, this too can be judgmental, however, suggestions are made below:
Examples:
a)Core Support: A Core Support being welded in could require preparation to the welded areas at both the left and right aprons as well as the left and right frame rails. For a core support _____ units of labor per welded area would be a suggested time. Thus, this particular core support would require _____ units of refinish preparation labor.
b)Quarter Panel: A Quarter Panel being welded in could require preparation to the welded areas at the rear body panel (inner\outer), the rocker panel (inner\outer), the outer wheelhouse, the inner wheelhouse, the inner roof area, the exterior roof sail panel area, the floor extension, etc. The suggested Refinish Preparation labor time would be _____ units of labor per welded area. Thus the quarter panel could require approximately _____ units of Refinish Preparation Labor. This amount could vary +\ - depending on the specific vehicle make or model.
c)Lt Front Apron Section: A left front apron section being welded in could require preparation to the welded areas at the rear section of the apron area top and bottom, thus _____ for the top and _____ for the bottom could equate to _____ units of Refinish Preparation Labor.
Mask during the Priming Process:
1rst Time of Covering Vehicle: _____ Units of labor and the equivalent materials.
2nd Time of Covering Vehicle: _____ Units of Labor and the equivalent Materials.
Mask during the Cut in Process (inner panels) Painting of the inner panels:
This is a judgment time. Examples:
- The inner trunk area, inner quarter panels, and the inner rear body panel require painting (Blending) from welding the rear body in. A suggested labor time for this operation would be _____ units of labor and the equivalent materials.
- A core support has been welded in. The engine compartment area requires masking and protecting in order to paint the aprons, frame rails, and inner core support from the welding process. A suggested time for this would be: _____ units of labor and the equivalent materials.
- A quarter panel has been welded in. The inner rocker panel, inner roof area and the inner quarter wheelhouse have to be refinished. The interior area of the vehicle requires masking to protect from overspray. A suggested time for this would be ______units of labor and the equivalent materials.
