Score 75% or higher to pass and achieve accreditation 1 / 20 SECTION 1: Inspection, Assessment & Job Setup During initial inspection, what is the MOST critical factor in determining if a kitchen is suitable for respraying? A. Current colour of units B. Age of the kitchen C. Surface integrity and previous coatings D. Style of doors 2 / 20 A kitchen shows silicone contamination near the frame. What is the correct approach? A. Sand and spray over it B. Remove contamination and use appropriate degreaser/isolator C. Clean with water only D. Apply thicker primer 3 / 20 Why is identifying previous finishes (e.g. lacquer, oil-based, laminate) important? A. To match colour B. To determine correct primer and prep system C. To reduce labour time D. To choose spray gun 4 / 20 What is the risk of failing to properly isolate high-contamination areas? Slower drying Poor masking adhesion Fish-eye defects and coating failure Colour variation 5 / 20 When setting up a spray area inside a home, what is the MOST important environmental control A. Airflow management and dust control B. Lighting only C. Temperature only D. Floor protection only 6 / 20 SECTION 2: Advanced Surface Preparation What is the PRIMARY purpose of mechanical abrasion when preparing factory-finished doors? A. Remove all existing coatings B. Create a consistent mechanical key C. Change surface shape D. Reduce gloss only 7 / 20 When sanding previously painted doors, what indicates insufficient preparation? A. Matte finish B. Even scratch pattern C. Glossy patches remaining D. Dust formation 8 / 20 What is the correct approach when encountering minor swelling in MDF edges? A. Stabilise, fill, and reshape before priming B. Ignore it C. Over-sand aggressively D. Apply thick primer 9 / 20 Why is tack cloth or air blow-off used after sanding? A. Improve gloss B. Remove static dust particles before coating C. Speed drying D. Reduce paint usage 10 / 20 What is the consequence of inconsistent sanding across a panel? A. Faster application B. Uneven sheen and adhesion issues C. Reduced paint usage D. Improved durability 11 / 20 SECTION 3: Priming & Spray Application (Technical Control) What is the key role of a high-performance bonding primer in kitchen respraying? A. Add colour depth B. Provide adhesion across mixed substrates C. Increase gloss D. Reduce number of coats 12 / 20 What is the most common cause of “orange peel” in a sprayed finish? A. Too much airflow B. Incorrect gun setup or viscosity C. Too much sanding D. Thin paint layers 13 / 20 Why should spray gun settings be adjusted before each job? A. To save time B. Because every substrate is different C. Because environmental and material conditions vary D. To reduce paint cost 14 / 20 What defines a professional project handover? A. Job completion only B. Clean site and leave C. Final inspection, client walkthrough, and aftercare guidance D. Payment collection only 15 / 20 Why is hinge alignment and adjustment important after refitting? A. Improve colour B. Ensure correct function and finish presentation C. Reduce cost D. Speed up job 16 / 20 What is the risk of reinstalling doors before full cure? A. Better adhesion B. Faster job C.Improved durability D.Marking, imprinting, or coating damage 17 / 20 What is the correct handling method for freshly sprayed doors? A. Stack immediately B. Handle with bare hands C. Use protected racking and minimal contact D. Lean against wall 18 / 20 SECTION 4: Finishing, Reassembly & Quality Control What is the most critical factor when assessing final finish quality? A. Colour match only B. Gloss level only C. Speed of completion D. Overall consistency (finish, texture, defects) 19 / 20 What is the risk of insufficient flash-off time between coats? A. Solvent trapping and coating failure B. Faster curing C. Better adhesion D. Improved finish 20 / 20 What is the correct overlap technique when spraying panels? A. No overlap B. 10% overlap C.Random overlap D. 50% overlap for even coverage Your score is Exit
