Custom Paint Warranty
Paul Priess · Warren, NJ
Terms
The Cutting Edge Illusions Custom Paint Warranty takes effect from the date of execution on the job invoice. The Warranty is non-transferable. It is only valid for the paint owner of record when the paint job was completed, as shown on the invoice.
Although it is recognized by Cutting Edge Illusions and Buyer that most coatings, including Warranted Finish, will fade and change in appearance to some degree over a period of time in outdoor installations, and that such changes may not be uniform between surfaces not equally exposed, Cutting Edge warrants that the goods covered by this warranty will resist natural weathering to the extent that they will conform to the performance standards listed below during the life of the piece, provided that all conditions of this warranty are first met.
- Warranted Finish will not peel, crack, check, or flake to an extent that is apparent on ordinary outdoor visual observation.
- Vertical installations of Warranted Finish will not change color more than 5 NBS (Hunter) units, and non-vertical installation will not change color more than 7 NBS (Hunter) units following field installation.
The warranty only applies to the painted areas
as described for the following defects, if they are prominent and extensive, and are not apparent at the time of the paint job's restitution to its owner:
- Cracking or checking
- Loss of gloss caused by hazing, chalking, fading
- Peel of the topcoat or of all the layers included in the process from the substrate
- Color change of the finish material
- Blistering caused by moisture
