2. The automotive/transportation or business machine plastic parts and products surface coating operation, complying with (e)1i or iii above, shall use one or more of the following application methods at all times and shall not use any other application method: i. A metal and plastic parts application method; or ii. Another coating application method capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent to or better than that achieved by HVLP spraying and approved by the EPA. 3. The provisions of (e)1 above do not apply to the following automotive/transportation and business machine plastic parts and products surface coating operations: i. Texture coatings; ii. Vacuum metalizing (automotive/transportation) coatings; iii. Gloss reducers (applied at a thickness of no more than 0.5 mils of coating solid); iv. Texture topcoats; v. Adhesion primers; vi. Electrostatic prep coatings; vii. Resist coatings; and viii. Stencil coats (automotive/transportation).
