    [quote=”jimmo” post=25860]We panel paint bumpers only and straight black sometimes. If its a huge pos or used car and we know the colors spot on the odd time we might but typically we would always blend.[/quote]

    :agree

    With insurance work, we’ll always put down for a blend and we get the money to do it.

    With private work, we usually need to explain to the customer why we need to do it, but most of the time the customer will agree to pay to pay for the blend(s). We still take great care with the colour match even if we’re doing a blend.

    Bumpers are most always edge painted unless it’s a 3 layer pearl.

    Blend everything.
    Exceptions: Customer pay work, repair allows blend with in, black, bumpers only. Note: I have been seeing a few blends on fenders when replacing a bumper and blend bumpers when replacing a fender

    We get paid to blend rear doors and cab corners when replacing a bedside. Rear doors and trunk lid when replacing quarters.

    If the insurance company wont pay for blend and it is causing you to produce an unacceptable job for the customer, I suggest you get the customer involved and explain to them that their insurance company wont pay for a quality color match…

    Only time we run into not being paid for blend is warranty work and even then we bite the bullet and blend anyways..
