Configurable Blend Rules
On April 28, 2023, MOTOR Information Systems announced a change to Color Blend (Adjacent Panels) procedures listed within the Guide to Estimating:
MOTOR Information Systems (MOTOR), a Hearst company, announced today it will make a change to the Estimated Worktime Development Methodology for color blend of adjacent panels within the MOTOR Guide to Estimating (GTE). The change is designed to account for variations in modern vehicle paint refinishing and will be made in October 2023 as part of the company’s standard GTE update schedule.
Per MOTOR’s revision, the refinish time associated with color blend of adjacent panels will defer to the judgement of an estimator or appraiser. This change impacts both two-stage and three-stage blend procedures.
Please refer to the following guides for details on how this impacts CCC® Estimating:
