A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Answer 1

B

Question 2

Technician A says that clearcoat can be used over some single-stage blends. Technician B says that a multi-stage paint's mid-coat could contain pearl, prismatic color, or might even be tinted with color. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Answer 2

C

Question 3

Overall or complete paint jobs are the most common performed in the paint department of a collision repair business

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Technician A says that clearcoats must have a minimum of 2 mils of thickness for the finish to withstand ultraviolet (UV) light. Technician B says that many manufacturers do not recommend clear-blending, because at the blend area there is much less than 2 mils with this method. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 5

Technicians should use a charcoal filter respirator when spraying finishes containing isocyanines.

Question 6

Technician A says that technicians should spray letdown panels to determine how many coats of mid-coat will be needed to obtain a quality match. Technician B says that if the ground coat is highly metallic or has pearl in it, it should be applied using the standard blending method. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 7

Technician A says that before applying standard blending techniques, the technician makes a refinishing plan by first looking at the panel or panels to determine the farthest area that will receive paint. Technician B says that the use of no-sand sealers requires no dry time, and just a short flash time before the topcoat can be applied. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 8

When using the reverse blending technique, the technician applies the first coat to the largest area that will receive paint.

Question 9

The process of edging parts is sometimes called ____________________- in.

Question 10

Technician A says that when blending with color, technicians should fan their strokes when painting, which feathers out the paint, or resulting in a better blend. Technician B says that to avoid dry spray, technicians should slowly let off the spray gun trigger at the outside edges of a blend coat. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 11

For technicians trained to spray at ____________________% transfer efficiency, the amount of VOC's released into the ozone is significantly reduced.

Question 12

Technician A says that a blended repaired area should be sealed if the painter believes that it is necessary for an undetectable repair. Technician B says that sealer should be kept as to as small an area as possible, to keep the overall blend small. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 13

Technicians can mix paint using a formula to reduce RTS (Ready to ____________________) materials.

Question 14

Technician A says that a technician can make a spray-out panel to determine both the color of the mix and the number of coats needed for coverage. Technician B says that with a wet film thickness gauge, the technician can tell how much paint has been applied. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 15

The higher transfer efficiency a spray painter can develop, the more paint he or she will use for each application.

Question 16

____________________ time refers to the amount of time from when a painter starts to spray until the spray reaches the target.

Question 17

Technician A says that wet-on-wet sealers are sealers for new E-coated parts with no imperfections. Technician B says that the use of no-sand sealers can speed up the edging-in process. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 18

One of the largest expenses in a collision repair paint department is the paint material.

Question 19

Technician A says that the standard blending method is best used for non-metallics and for colors which cover well and lie down easily. Technician B says that all mixed color can be blended to an undetectable match. Who is correct?

A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question 20

One of the largest expenses in a paint department is the paint material, often called " ____________________ product".
