Paint Coating DFT Report Not Approved Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the coating DFT report, dry-film-thickness inspection record, or protective-paint acceptance log still lacks approval. This is different from a generic paint snagging issue because it focuses on the inspection evidence that the applied coating system meets the specified thickness and protection requirements. The business problem is that the coating work may already be complete, but the payer is still withholding payment until the DFT report is formally accepted. Your email should ask whether DFT approval is the only remaining blocker, whether measurements have already been taken, what area or result is still under review, and whether payment will be released once that report is signed off. The outcome you want is to move the delay from broad finishing comments to one specific coating-inspection record with a clear approval path.
