AURVTP006 Apply refinishing primers to vehicle surfaces
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare vehicle surfaces and then apply refinishing primers to them prior to final paint coats. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, mixing and applying automotive primers to substrate surfaces according to manufacturer specifications, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive paint refinishing repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
prepare and apply the following refinishing primers according to paint manufacturer specifications on two different vehicle panels or substrates to a minimum area of 300 mm x 200 mm:
epoxy
acid-based
ultraviolet (UV) cured
sealant
non-sandable
adhesion promoters.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to applying refinishing primers to vehicle surfaces, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) for paint primers
handling and storing paint materials
using tools and equipment
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
paint manufacturer specifications
types and uses of primers specified in the performance evidence
surface preparation and primer mixing and application techniques, including:
cleaning paint repair areas
wet and dry rubbing procedures
correct use of positive air feed masks
masking techniques
primer application methods
paint drying methods
types of abrasives and grading
types and use of spray painting equipment and maintenance requirements
procedures for protecting undamaged vehicle and components when applying refinishing primers
procedures for final inspection of completed primed surface.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of task.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle surfaces they have prepared and primed, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
TDS and SDS for primers
PPE to apply primers for paint repairs
primers and materials, including:
epoxy primer
acid-based primer
UV cured primer
sealant
non-sandable
adhesion promoters
two different vehicles or substrates requiring preparation and primer application
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for preparing vehicle surfaces and mixing and applying primers.
