Question 1

A ___________________ should be used to help identify the presence of sand scratches when finish sanding the finish for topcoating.

Accepted Answer

guide coat

Question 2

Because the waterborne finishes are so safe compared to the solvent borne finishes an MSDS is no longer required.

Accepted Answer

Even though waterborne finishes are safer, an MSDS is still required by law for any chemical product in the workplace. It provides important information on the potential hazards and safe handling procedures.

Question 3

Technician A says some of the waterborne mixing toners merely require being rocked from side to side four or five times to agitate them. Technician B says agitating the waterborne materials is no longer required. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct. Some of the waterborne mixing toners do require agitation to properly mix the components. Technician B is incorrect, as agitating waterborne materials is still necessary for proper mixing.

Question 4

Technician A says waterborne waste should be treated as a hazardous material. Technician B says mixing some solvent borne materials with waterborne materials can cause hazardous gasses. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Waterborne waste can contain harmful chemicals and should be treated as a hazardous material. Mixing solvent borne materials with waterborne materials can create gasses that are hazardous to human health and the environment.

Question 5

Even though waterborne finishes contain less amounts of solvent, the technician must still use the proper _______________ to protect themselves.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Even though waterborne finishes contain less amounts...

Question 6

Technician A says preparing the surface for waterborne finishes is nearly identical to that required by solvent borne finishes. Technician B says a finer grade of sandpaper is usually required for waterborne finishes when compared to solvent borne finishes. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

A finer grade of sandpaper is usually required for waterborne finishes when compared to solvent borne finishes because waterborne finishes are thinner and more prone to showing scratches.

Question 7

Air movement is the primary requirement for waterborne finishes to _______________ and become hard.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Air movement is the primary requirement for...

Question 8

Technician A says the spectrophotometer can be used to help the painter select the correct paint mixing formula for the vehicle. Technician B says the paint code can be obtained directly from the VIN. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because a spectrophotometer can indeed be used to analyze the color of the vehicle's paint to help in selecting the correct paint mixing formula, ensuring a match with the existing paint. Technician B is incorrect because the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) does not directly provide the paint code; the paint code is usually found on a sticker or plate on the vehicle, not encoded in the VIN.

Question 9

Technician A says most paint manufacturers recommend a downdraft spray booth for spraying waterborne finishes. Technician B says a cross draft spray booth is most effective for spraying waterborne paints. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Most paint manufacturers do recommend a downdraft spray booth for spraying waterborne finishes due to the fact that it provides a cleaner and more controlled environment. While cross draft spray booths can also be used, they are not considered the most effective option.

Question 10

Technician A says the paint manufacturers offer very specific drying/flash times for waterborne finishes. Technician B says using the "wet-bedding" blending procedure, helps the color coat applied over it to become better oriented. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says the paint manufacturers offer...

Question 11

Waterborne paint should be stored between temperatures of ___________ and __________ degrees Fahrenheit.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Waterborne paint should be stored between temperatures...

Question 12

Which of these materials is not considered one of the main ingredients in paint?

Accepted Answer

Resin, additives, and pigments are all considered main ingredients in paint. Fisheye eliminator is a type of additive used to reduce surface tension and prevent defects in the finish, but it is not one of the main ingredients.

Question 13

Waterborne finishes contain approximately 65% pigments and metallics.

Accepted Answer

Waterborne finishes contain approximately 25-40% pigments and metallics, not 65%.

Question 14

Portable________________________ are often used to increase the air flow to help the waterborne finishes dry.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Portable________________________ are often used to increase the...

Question 15

Technician A says the use of a guide coat has virtually been eliminated with the waterborne finishes. Technician B says the "one and done" system usually requires that a panel be completely painted before moving on to the next. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says the use of a...

Question 16

Containers used for waterborne finishes must be lined with corrosion resistant materials.

Accepted Answer

This is because waterborne finishes can cause corrosion in certain types of containers if they are not lined with the appropriate materials. Corrosion can compromise the quality and safety of the finish, as well as potentially contaminate the water supply. Therefore, it is important to use corrosion resistant materials in containers for waterborne finishes.

Question 17

Waste from waterborne and solvent borne paints must be kept separated from each other.

Accepted Answer

Waste from waterborne and solvent borne paints cannot be mixed as they require different disposal methods due to their different chemical compositions.

Question 18

Technician A says variance chips for waterborne paints are usually sprayed with similar equipment used by painters in the shop. Technician B says the required reduction amounts varies significantly between paint manufacturers. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct. Variance chips for waterborne paints are usually sprayed with similar equipment used by painters in the shop. 
Technician B is also correct. The required reduction amounts vary significantly between paint manufacturers. So, both technicians are correct.

Question 19

Waterborne paint reduces the amount of organic solvents by which of the following percentages?

Accepted Answer

Waterborne paint reduces the amount of organic solvents by 75%.

Question 20

Most waterborne products have a designated shelf life.

Accepted Answer

Most waterborne products, such as cleaning solutions and shampoos, have a designated shelf life that is typically listed on the packaging or product label. This is because over time, the effectiveness of the product's active ingredients may degrade or break down, rendering the product less effective or potentially harmful to use. It is important to follow the product's recommended storage and usage guidelines to ensure its efficacy and safety.
