3.Primer surface/primer filler: A pigmented mixture that works as a primer and also has filling qualities so that it can be sanded to make a smooth surface for the next colour coat.

4. "Tint and blend" is the process of mixing toners to match the current paint finish, then blending or overlapping the colour into the next panel to avoid problems with colour match.
