Installation timeThe installation time is approx. 6 hours. This may vary depending on the condition of the car and the equipment in it.

The time required for painting is around 6 hours. The time specified for painting is a guideline time only. A 2-coat paint job with paint stage 2 was used as the basis for this guideline figure. The actual time spent on painting must be calculated based on the features and condition of the car, the layers of paint and the paint stage required. The total costs of the painting time must be taken into account when calculating the retrofitting costs.
