Inquiry (as stated by inquirer)

We have a 2002 Subaru Impreza in the shop. I noticed that while adding the front bumper reinforcement that Pathways did not have refinish time for the reinforcement. It would be helpful if the database would give refinish time for the reinforcement as it is painted by the factory.

Suggestion to all data providers:

Please review this request for a paint time to be listed

Response:

Mitchell - 03/23/2004: The bumper reinforcements are refinished from the OEM. We added refinish allowances to the database for this operation.

ADP: 04/19/2004 We reviewed the serviceability of the front bumper reinforcement and found that this is painted by the manufacturer. We therefore will add a refinish time to allow this panel to be brought back to pre-accident condition.

MOTOR 09/08/2004: Applied refinish time of 0.8 hours to the 93-01 without 2.5 RS front bumper reinforcement and refinish time of 1.2 hours to the 99-01 2.5 RS reinforcement.
