Painting should be performed under dust-free and well-ventilated conditions. The method is as follows: 1. Remove oil stains and rust from the car body surface, degrease plastic parts, and keep the surface clean; 2. Use zinc-based phosphating liquid to phosphorate the car body surface, then rinse with clean water, and wait for the car body to dry before painting; 3. Pay attention to air pressure and nozzle size during spraying, ensuring the car paint surface is even and smooth; 4. After painting, drive the vehicle into a paint baking room to dry quickly and solidify the paint. Painting is a car repair technique that involves restoring the deformed parts of the car's metal shell to their original shape, then spraying special paint to make the deformed metal surface look the same as the undamaged parts.

There are actually many conditions to pay attention to when it comes to painting work. I prefer doing it at around 20°C—if it's too hot, the paint dries too quickly and can bubble, while if it's too cold, it takes forever to dry, wasting time. Humidity should ideally be kept between 50% and 70%. If the air is too damp, moisture can cling to the paint like fog, causing whitening or spotting. Ventilation is a must, but avoid using fans as they can stir up dust; instead, rely on a proper ventilation system or open doors and windows for natural airflow. The workspace should be clean and dust-free—preferably an indoor workshop swept thoroughly before painting. I always wear a professional mask and gloves to protect myself from inhaling harmful particles and to prevent solvents from irritating my skin. Surface preparation is also crucial: sand away old paint and rust, then clean thoroughly to ensure a smooth surface before spraying. Maintain an even spraying distance and movement speed, and set the spray gun to the right pressure for a consistent coat thickness. After painting, let it dry naturally in a dust-free, temperature-controlled environment for 24 hours—this ensures a beautiful, durable finish. Remember, if the weather is bad, don’t force it, or you’ll just end up with more rework hassle.

I learned a lot from my last experience painting an old car at home. The optimal conditions are warm weather between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Painting in hot weather causes the paint to dry too quickly, leading to cracks, while cold weather makes it dry like glue. Humidity should be controlled at around 60%, and avoid painting during the rainy season when humidity is high, as it can cause the paint to fog. Ventilation is crucial—don’t use a big fan as it will stir up dust; simply using door gaps for airflow is enough. Choose a clean garage, sweep the floor to reduce impurities, and I also laid down plastic sheets to protect the ground. Wear proper masks and goggles for safety. Practice steady movements with the spray gun—don’t rush. Sand the car body thoroughly to remove oil and rust before painting. After finishing, let the car sit undisturbed for at least a day to allow proper curing. Only by controlling the environment can you achieve satisfactory results. Painting isn’t easy—it’s all about accumulated experience.

When painting, my first consideration is safety conditions. Ventilation must be strong to allow paint fumes to dissipate promptly, reducing inhalation risks—otherwise, headaches and nausea may occur. A comfortable temperature between 15 to 25 degrees avoids overheating and heatstroke. Humidity should not exceed 70%, as moisture can exacerbate health issues. Keep the work area away from fire sources, as paint is flammable—no smoking nearby. Wear an N95 mask, long sleeves, and gloves for full-body protection. With proper environmental control, your body stays safe, ensuring pleasant and efficient work.

Should the inner or outer circle be read on a tire pressure gauge?

Both the inner and outer circles on a tire pressure gauge can be read, but they represent different units. The outer circle uses the imperial unit psi, while the inner circle uses kg/cm2. The conversion formula between them is 14.5psi=1.02kg/cm2. If the tire pressure gauge reads 2.5, it refers to the black inner circle. Below are factors to consider when adjusting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Road conditions: On roads with significant bumps, it is appropriate to lower the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar from the standard tire pressure. For roads with minor bumps, this can be ignored. For long-distance high-speed driving, the tire pressure should not be too low; it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar based on the lower limit of the standard tire pressure.

How often is a private car's vehicle license inspected?

It depends on how many years it has been in use. Here is the introduction about the vehicle license: 1. The first type: Non-operational sedans and non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles that have been registered for more than 6 years (inclusive) are still inspected once a year as per the original regulations. 2. The second type: Vehicles that have been in use for more than 15 years (inclusive) are still inspected twice a year as per the original regulations. Vehicles that have been in use for more than 20 years (inclusive) are inspected every 3 months. 3. Others: The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined by the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is August 2010, then the annual inspection time for vehicles with an inspection cycle of 1 year (or more) is every August. According to the regulation that motor vehicle inspections can be applied for within three months before the expiration of the validity period, vehicles with an initial registration date of August 2010 can go to the motor vehicle inspection station for inspection in June, July, or August.

What does AVG mean on a Nissan car?

AVG is the abbreviation for average, meaning the mean value. The AVG displayed on a car's dashboard refers to the average fuel consumption. Below is an introduction related to fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption varies by individual: The fuel consumption provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is measured in a laboratory using the carbon balance method, corresponding to urban, suburban, and combined driving conditions, resembling a theoretical fuel consumption value. However, during actual driving, factors such as road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle load vary from person to person. 2. Self-calculation method: Fill up the fuel tank at a gas station until the pump automatically stops, then record the mileage. For ease of calculation, take 5000 kilometers as an example. Then, drive normally until the next refueling and record the new mileage, say 5500 kilometers. You can then calculate the average fuel consumption for the last 500 kilometers driven (5500-5000=500 kilometers). The calculation is as follows: 300÷500÷7.6≈7.8L/100KM, meaning the fuel consumption is approximately 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

What are the gears of a manual-automatic transmission?

The gears of a manual-automatic transmission include P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. It also has '+' and '-' gears. Here is some information about manual-automatic transmissions: 1. Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission is essentially a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. The manual-automatic transmission is designed to improve the fuel efficiency and controllability of an automatic transmission by allowing the driver to decide the shifting timing, which was originally determined by the computer. At the same time, it can still be used in automatic mode for convenience in urban traffic jams. 2. Pros and Cons: In addition to the advantages of an automatic transmission, a manual-automatic car also allows manual control, providing some driving pleasure. The biggest disadvantage of a manual-automatic car is its higher fuel consumption. The manual mode is not fully manual and is limited by sensors, meaning it's impossible to shift directly to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear at 120 km/h. It is understood that the manual mode is rarely used in manual-automatic cars. Compared to automatic transmissions, the technology is less mature.
