WHEN TRYING TO PHOTOGRAPH BODY PAINT AND GLASS TO DOCUMENT A DEFECT OR DAMAGE, THE REFLECTIONS CAN HIDE THE ACTUAL DEFECT. A BEST PRACTICE TO FOLLOW FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IS TO USE A PAPER PAD WITH GRIDLINES ON IT TO REFLECT THE FLAW. THERE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES FROM NORMAL 8.5X11 SIZE PAPER UP TO EASEL SIZE PADS. THE PAPER IS PLACED SO THAT THE GRIDLINES ARE SHOWN IN THE REFLECTION IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. THE DEFECT OR DAMAGE IS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE DEVIATION IN THE GRID LINES AND THE UNIFORMITY OF THE PAPER COLOR.","document":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10081242","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"PORSCHE","model":"PORSCHE","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
