A: WATERBORNE PAINT IS A HIGH SOLIDS PRODUCT WHERE WATER IS THE CARRIER OF THE COLOR INSTEAD OF SOLVENTS. IT IS CLEANER AND GENERATES 25% LESS POLLUTION EMISSIONS THAN SOLVENT PAINT. MOST VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS HAVE OR ARE MOVING TO WATERBORNE PAINT SYSTEMS. WE USE IT BECAUSE IT IS A BETTER, SAFER PRODUCT THAT HELPS IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT LESS AND INSURES THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER MATCH FACTORY COLORS INTO THE FUTURE. IT COSTS A LITTLE MORE AND REQUIRES STRICT PROCESS COMPLIANCE AND THAT IS WHY MOST OF OUR COMPETITORS TAKE THE EASY ROAD AND SPRAY SOLVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE LONG TERM IMPACTS IT CAUSES.

IF A SHOP FINDS ADDITIONAL DAMAGE, IT WRITES A SUPPLEMENT AND NOTIFIES THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR CUSTOMER FOR APPROVAL TO CONTINUE WITH REPAIRS.
