Proposed Response Text:

Where we have been able to identify masking of non-painted and/or textured surfaces is required, it has been factored into the refinish allowance.

These situations are denoted with a labor footnote ` Includes Necessary Masking¿

For situations where a footnote is absent, masking has not been factored into the refinish allowance.

“Per the Mitchell Refinish Procedure, refinish times are for outside surfaces only unless stated otherwise in text (example: add for underside, add to edge).”
