Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to rectify multi-layer and pearl paint fault
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Paint rectification information is accessed and interpreted
   • Vehicle paint specifications are identified from workplace instructions and recorded
   • Multi-layer and pearl paint materials are selected and inspected for quality
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Paint tools and equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are selected and checked for serviceability
   • Work is planned to identify methods for rectifying multi-layer and pearl paint faults, minimise waste, and prevent damage to vehicle
2. Determine paint fault, its cause and rectification requirements
   • Cause of paint fault is determined from available information
   • Faulty paintwork is visually inspected to determine extent of damage and areas requiring rectification
   • Existing paint film build-up is identified and assessed
   • Damage to paintwork is assessed from visual comparison with undamaged paintwork
   • Fault rectification requirements are determined without causing undue damage to vehicle components or systems
3. Carry out rectification and touch-up activities
   • Materials required to restore paintwork to pre-damage condition are determined from paint manufacturer recommended procedures
   • Materials are measured, mixed and applied using approved equipment
   • Damaged paintwork is rectified and blended with existing paintwork using two-pack system
   • Rectification processes are completed according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to vehicle components and systems
4. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and vehicle or component is presented ready for use
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored
   • Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
