Likely result of baking a repair after applying a high film build of 1K stopper?

topcoat will be drawn in, creating a mapping effect

The first process when preparing an aluminium panel is to:

degrease to remove contaminants

If body filler is over catalysed, which of these will likely happen?

filler will cure before it can be spread

The purpose of VIN numbers is to:

the hardener may stain the top coat

A painted steel panel with no rear access is dented and needs filler, before filling:

the area around the dent must be sanded to bare metal

using good quality masking tape on a vehicle will result in:

no imperfections on edges when demasking

Manufacturers use an electrophoretic dip to:

effective anti corrosion protection

A non-destructive test to determine if a painted steel body panel has had body filler is to:

apply a magnet to the surface, it will not adhere

A hand held squeegee may be used to:

quickly remove excess water from newly washed paintwork

The correct application viscosity of refinish products is important to ensure:

maximum performance from the material

Manufacturers use body caulking to:

seal gaps where flexibility is required

To determine if an existing paint finish is a 1K or 2K material:

do a solvent wipe test to see if the product is removed

One clue to see if a painted panel is steel is:

Answers

1
Likely result of baking a repair after applying a high film build of 1K stopper?
overall quality and appearance of the repair will improve
topcoat will be drawn in, creating a mapping effect
the stopper will become too hard to shape
a high gloss spot will appear above the stoppered area
2
To identify a steel panel prior to preparing it for painting:
check with a magnet
tap it with a hammer
scratch the surface
look for label description
3
The first process when preparing an aluminium panel is to:
apply at least one heavy coat of self-etch wash primer
degrease to remove contaminants
abrade with orbital sander fitted with 80 grit paper
sand with foam back pad on a block
4
If rubbing through the primer to the bare plastic on a new bumper, you should first:
apply wet-on-wet primer
return the bumper to the supplier
apply etch primer
apply adhesion promoter
5
If body filler is over catalysed, which of these will likely happen?
the body filler will cure much slower
less primer-filler will be necessary
filler will cure before it can be spread
sanding of cured filler will be easier
6
The purpose of VIN numbers is to:
allow insurers to check vehicle ownership
identify integral or semi-integral construction
give unique identification to vehicles
help carry out accurate estimates
7
When to much hardener is added to filler:
the hardener may stain the top coat
filler is easier to sand and shape
the mixture dries much slower
there is no need to apply primer
8
A painted steel panel with no rear access is dented and needs filler, before filling:
the area around the dent must be sanded to bare metal
drill holes in the panel to help the filler adhere
the paintwork should be heavily scratched with 40 grit paper
the paintwork must be fully cleaned with TFR and panel wipe
9
using good quality masking tape on a vehicle will result in:
slight lifting which will result in hard edges
no imperfections on edges when demasking
shrinking of the edges which helps removal when baked
the tape sticking hard and being difficult to remove
10
Manufacturers use an electrophoretic dip to:
prevent birdlime eating into lacquer
maintain gloss levels in topcoat
effective anti corrosion protection
eliminate the need to polish the car
11
information on diluting cleaning materials can normally be found on the:
mixing ratio stick
product data sheet
EPA leaflet
sales brochure
12
A non-destructive test to determine if a painted steel body panel has had body filler is to:
draw a scribe across the surface, it will not scratch it
apply a magnet to the surface, it will not adhere
tap the surface lightly with a hammer, the filler will crack
push the panel surface firmly, it will not flex
13
Product description and application methods can be obtained from:
searching the internet
process data sheets
product container
phoning the supplier
14
Masking of a vehicle is done to prevent:
fumes from entering the vehicle
overspray being applied
dust contamination from the booth
the formation of large silicone craters
15
2K paints, fillers, etc, are also known as:
water based materials
cellulose lacquers
two-pack materials
air-stage driers
16
Solvent is included in refinish paints:
for cratering prevention
for adhesion purposes
to reduce viscosity
to improve flexibility
17
When mixing 2K products and hardener is added, this ingredient is a:
anti silicone additive
activator
adhesion promoter
stabiliser
18
A hand held squeegee may be used to:
evenly spread dry guide coat over cured primer/filler
scrape of dried contamination such as tree-sap or bird lime
apply a thick coat of 1K stopper to pinholes
quickly remove excess water from newly washed paintwork
19
If a paint finish is baked without flashing off, the result will be:
harder paint film
higher gloss levels
repair marks showing
trapping of solvents
20
Manufacturers apply a special primer to edges of exposed panels, bottoms of wings and sills:
underseal
high build etch
anti stone chip
polyester filler
21
What is the meaning of 'EPA'?
environmental pressure act
employees protection act
environmental protection act
extreme pressure act
22
Rubbing a polishing compound into the surface of a cured 2-pack clearcoat finish will:
stain the polishing cloth
not stain the polishing cloth
softening of the clearcoat surface
dull the surface gloss level
23
The correct application viscosity of refinish products is important to ensure:
thicker coats for higher film build
there is enough material to finish the job
maximum performance from the material
absence of dirt inclusion in the paint film
24
Manufacturers use body caulking to:
prevent damage from stone chips
to fix in front and rear windscreens
seal gaps where flexibility is required
prevent headlights, etc from vibrating
25
To determine if an existing paint finish is a 1K or 2K material:
sand with 1500 grade paper and look foe clogging
do a solvent wipe test to see if the product is removed
compound the surface and look for clogging
do a fingernail test, then inspect surface for scratches
26
which of the following are used on most vehicle front wings and bonnets?
aluminium, carbon fibre, zinc
zinc, steel, aluminium
steel, aluminium, thermoplastic
themoplastic, steel, MDF
27
One clue to see if a painted panel is steel is:
the presence of white oxidisation
lots of small surface scratches
the absence of surface scratches
the presence of brown rust stains
28
Wrong spray gun set-up and poor application techniques are likely to cause:
crazing of topcoat
bleeding of undercoat
an orange peel effect
high gloss levels
29
New panels have an E-coat, what is the 'E'?
electrolytic
electrophoretic
electrostatic
electoplated
30
Who is this?
Meg Griffin
Maxine Boot

Rubbing a polishing compound into the surface of a cured 2-pack solid finish will:
stain the polishing cloth
soften the painted surface
not stain the polishing cloth
dull the surface gloss level
