Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct because crash books or collision estimating guides are indeed necessary for writing a manual estimate, as they provide the standard repair times and parts costs. Technician B is correct because blending is a technique used in auto body repair to ensure that new paint matches the existing paint on undamaged panels, making the repair indistinguishable to the naked eye.
