Solera Qapter users can reference information about Chipguard application in  Solera DBRM page 139 section 4-4 Refinish Guidelines

“The application of chipguard material to the lower portions of panels (up to 8″ of protection) is automated in the Audatex system and can be selected on a panel-by-panel basis. Audatex’s chipguard formula is:

• 0.3 for the first panel and 0.2 per each additional panel.

Note: This formula can be used to determine time to apply chipguard material only, and does not account for texturing or finish matching of any kind. Today’s vehicles often require exact-match texturing in the chipguard process. These cases are not addressed by this calculation and must be considered individually at time of inspection.”
