Rant: My shop's insurance estimator just quoted 8.2 hours for a quarter panel blend

That's the highest blend time I've ever seen approved on the first pass. Anyone else getting these wild numbers lately, or did I just get lucky with a tired adjuster?

Take a picture of the blend area before you start. Sometimes they'll try to walk it back later, but having proof of the full panel helps lock it in.

Honestly that sounds about right for a proper blend these days.

Seems like everything's getting padded out these days, right? Like they're just adding time and cost for no real reason. Makes you wonder where it all ends.
