The second task tested colour matching skill; painters were supplied with an off shade premixed colour and had to colour match to a painted wing. Painters were then asked to repair a small area of damage on a panel and fadeout the Basecoat and Clearcoat within the panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The final task saw the painters produce stunning effects by masking off and polishing an individual custom design into Matt Clearcoat panels.
