Paint panels

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to paint panels with water, oil or solvent based paints using roller coating line, spray booth or curtain coating equipment to finish coat wood panel products.

The unit applies to production operators and technicians who paint panels in a forest and wood products factory setting

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)
