Which term describes a sprayed finish with indentations in the paint that appear as it dries?

• A. Grave Liner
• B. Hardware
• C. Head Panel
• D. Hammertone

Answer: (D)

Hammertone describes a sprayed finish that dries with tiny indentations, giving a hammered or dimpled textured look. This effect happens as the spray coats set and cure, causing small irregularities to form on the surface so the finish appears to have subtle depressions. The other terms refer to things like liners, hardware, or panels rather than a type of paint texture, so they don’t describe the finish’s appearance as it dries.
