Disclaimer: Mitchell RMC combines average refinish times, average costs and amounts of paint (based on a spray-able mixed quantity) and related materials. Material
costs listed in the product are taken directly from American Standox, Inc., Akzo Nobel Coatings, Inc., BASF, DuPont, ICI Autocolor, PPG, Sherwin-Williams and Spies-
Hecker. Product pricing represents an "average" of the cost for materials as outlined from the suggested refinisher price lists (Cost). The user should ultimately
evaluate how the pricing contained within this product matches their jobber costs, regional pricing and specific job costing before applying any type of markup or discount.
Mitchell has not made any adjustments to these averages.
