Hyundai Releases Two New Position Statements
I-CAR · August 6, 2018 · Hyundai
Summary
Hyundai has released two new position statements addressing clip repairs and clearcoat blending. The manufacturer explicitly prohibits the sectioning of two vehicles (clip repairs) and states that clearcoat blending is not an approved repair method because cured clearcoat cannot be melted or blended with new clearcoat.
What to do on the job
Do not perform clip repairs (sectioning two vehicles together) and ensure clearcoat is applied to the entire panel rather than being blended or melted into existing cured clearcoat.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of refinishing entire panels to the nearest natural break rather than blending clearcoat, and to defend against any insurer requests to perform clip repairs or partial sectioning not approved by Hyundai.
