The ideal amount of areas marked is 52. On the other hand, the type of vehicle may limit this number. In fact, a comprehensive 2-door sub-compact will consist of fewer markings than a van or a large luxurious SUV.
Areas that must be marked are:
- All windows including the windshield, rear window, side windows and rear quarter windows.
- The lens headlights, front and rear sidelights, fog lights and front and back turn signal lenses.
- The side view mirrors, as long as it does not interfere with the vision
- "Mag" type wheels and hubcaps
- The motor and its different components
- Other important mechanical parts.
- Body parts such as the hood, trunk, tailgate, doors, grill and bumpers.
- In general all parts that are susceptible to dismantling and resale.
