Review Questions: 6. After Vehicle Is Painted, The Solvent-Laden Air - Before Baking

This document contains review questions about vehicle painting and color matching. It addresses topics like sources of contamination, levels of surface preparation, blending and melting techniques, factors that affect color perception, and potential painting issues. The greatest source of contamination is the vehicle itself. Level 3 surface preparation requires the most labor and removes all obstructions from panels. When blending, fanning the spray gun at the end of a stroke can cause a halo effect.

While level 3 does not allow 2 step painting.
5. Level __ surface preparation methods require the most labor.

the final cat so it extends about 2 inches beyond the second basecoat.
