Inquiry (as stated by inquirer)

Here are some photos of a Grille for a 2001 Chevy Z71 Suburban that pays 1.0 to refinish, I am assuming that GM just started this process of not refinishing the grille per color code of the vehicle and you said you usually look for things I believe for the SCRS committee to hash over and get changed.

Suggestion to all data providers:

Please review this operation, the paint procedural steps may consume more than the 1.0 hour listed.

Mitchell: After review of the operation, the refinish allowance has been increased to 2.0hrs.

Based upon our research we feel that the time we allow for this operation (1.2 hrs) is sufficient time to perform this operation.
