Three-stage refinishing

Mitchell Cloud Estimating (MCE)

Manually entered vehicle paint times will not automatically system calculate the three-stage refinishing time. (i.e. Vehicles that are not in the database).

Three-stage not in MCE

When three-stage is not in MCE database, the three-stage additional refinishing operation will not automatically calculate the times. The time must be manually calculated as follows:

• use the refinishing time
• add a 35% allowance to the refinishing time, and
• add the three-stage refinishing operation under the additional paint operations and enter the manually calculated time.
