Within 6 feet of the compressor In a cool, dark place At least 25 feet from the compressor Inside the paint booth Question Title * An HVLP air cap test gauge is used to measure which of the following: Fluid flow at the cap Air volume at the air cap Air pressure at the gun inlet Air pressure at the cap Question Title * Where is the appropriate location to regulate the atomization air coming into the spray gun? At the compressor Gun mounted cheater valve Wall Regulator Gun mounted regulator Question Title * A spray gun is spraying in an uneven spray pattern. This typically is caused by a dirty fluid tip or air cap. What would be the first step to diagnose whether this problem is caused by the fluid tip or the air cap? Rotate the air cap 180 degrees and spray a test pattern to see if the uneven pattern has rotated 180 degrees. Clean out all of the fluid passages of the spray gun and spray a test pattern. Take the air cap off and hold it up to the light to see if the holes in the air cap are clogged. Take the air cap off of the spray gun and visually inspect all areas for signs of contamination. Question Title * Which of the following best describes the air pressure condition that would cause the booth door to close by itself?

It is not important to identify what type of substrate is being refinished. Clearcoats will have varying levels of gloss on different substrates. To document the type on the warranty paperwork. Different substrates may require different procedures. Question Title * Using good spray gun techniques such as speed, path and distance, helps a technician obtain which of the following?
