A compact car generally requires 2-3 quarts of base coat, a mid-size car 3-4 quarts, and a full-size truck or SUV 4-5 quarts. A complete respray requires planning for about 150% of these standard base coat quantities to ensure complete coverage, a full gallon of clear coat for the finishing system, and extra material allocated for door jambs and under-hood areas.

What are the maintenance items for a private car at 30,000 kilometers?

Maintenance items for a car at 30,000 kilometers include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, cleaning the throttle body, replacing the spark plugs, etc. Some 4S shops may recommend additional maintenance items, which car owners should consider based on their own judgment and actual conditions. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is a mandatory item. Due to the harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the engine, the shelf life of the engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance greatly deteriorates. Over time, it fails to protect the engine. The air filter should be replaced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, and the fuel filter should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. Cleaning the throttle body at 30,000 kilometers is necessary, but it is not required before reaching this mileage. By this time, a significant amount of carbon deposits will have accumulated at the throttle body, causing the throttle opening to become smaller, leading to unstable idling and sluggish acceleration. If the car owner notices a decline in the vehicle's performance during this period, they should consider inspecting the throttle body and spark plugs during maintenance. At 30,000 kilometers, the spark plugs have not completely failed, but their ignition performance has significantly deteriorated, directly affecting the engine's power, performance, and fuel consumption. If the vehicle is still running smoothly, the replacement can be delayed by another 10,000 kilometers.

Where is the car tire model number located?

Car tire model numbers are located on the sidewall of the tire. In the tire specifications, the number before the slash represents the tire's section width, the number after the slash represents the aspect ratio, 'R' stands for radial tire, and the number following 'R' indicates the rim diameter. Tire model markings mostly appear as: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are: 215 represents the tire section width in millimeters (mm), with general tire widths ranging from 145 to 285mm in 10mm increments. 70 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, with 70 representing 70%. Typical tire aspect ratios range from 30% to 80%. 'R' is the abbreviation for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the rim diameter in inches. The functions of tires are: to transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; to support vehicle loads; and to reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving. Tire maintenance methods include: regularly cleaning stones from tire treads; minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; promptly checking tire pressure; paying attention to suspension maintenance; regularly inspecting front wheel alignment; and adopting careful driving practices by choosing road surfaces carefully, avoiding objects that could puncture or damage tires, and steering clear of chemical spills that could corrode tires.

Is the driver's license score reset time at 0:00 or 24:00 on the same day?

Driver's license score reset time is not at 24:00 on the same day but at 0:00. The scoring cycle of a driver's license is calculated from the initial issuance date of the license. A scoring cycle starts at 0:00 on the initial issuance date each year and ends at 24:00 on the day before the initial issuance date of the following year. Here is relevant information about traffic violation point deductions: Legal provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; otherwise, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, they must attend study sessions and take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the location of the violation. Only after passing the exam and paying all fines can the points be cleared. For those who accumulate 12 points twice or more, or whose cumulative points exceed 24 points, in addition to taking the subject one exam, they must also take the subject three exam. Accumulating 12 points: A Class C driver's license will be temporarily suspended by the traffic management department, and the driver must attend study sessions on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, as well as take the exam within 15 days at a designated location. Passing the exam will clear the points and return the license; otherwise, the driver must continue studying and retaking the exam. Class A and B driver's licenses will face downgrade penalties, with the vehicle management office revoking the highest permitted driving model. The driver must complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days.
