Summary of the coverage limits on custom refinishing allowances.

Limits of coverage

The maximum amount of custom refinishing allowances varies depending on the customer purchasing additional endorsement coverage.

Endorsement coverage Limits of coverage
Customer has no endorsement. Custom paint is covered up to $5,000 above the appropriate Mitchell Cloud Estimating (MCE) or the applicable paint chart times.
Customer has Extra Equipment coverage (sold directly on the APV250).
Custom paint is covered
  • in excess of $5,000, and
  • to a maximum of the specific excess amount of coverage the customer has purchased.
Note: Appropriate MCE or paint chart rates are applied at default two stage rates. Vehicles with a tri-coat factory finish are allotted three stage or greater if equipped, prior to the custom refinish allowance. The $5,000 limit
  • is the aggregate amount for all additional equipment excluding wheelchair mods, and the $1,000 sound or communication limit, and
