How to Add Three Stage Paint Calculations in Mitchell  
 - 
For the system to recognize and calculate three stage paint finish labor, user must write the estimate as normal with refinish/ blend operations labor added. Click on the "REF SHEET" Tab>> Additional Operations>> Refinish>> Select "Three stage". You can also enter quick code 933014 in the upper right corner, and the system will add "Three Stage". Once you calculate the estimate, a line will appear for Three Stage Instead of the clear coat line.

First major panel or soft bumper/fascia cover:  Add .7 per refinish hour (70%), after time has been added for jamb, jamb and interior, edge panel, and/or underside (when necessary).
Additional panel(s) and/or other refinish area(s):  Deduct overlap (if applicable); add .4 per refinish hour (40%), after time has been added for jamb, jamb and interior, edge panel, and/or underside (when necessary).
Blend adjacent panel(s): Allow .7 per refinish hour (70%) for each panel(s)/refinish area(s) blended.



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.
