Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to colour match paints using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) paint codes. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, preparing colour matching test cards, mixing and spraying paint and conducting a visual colour match, 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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 paint colour matching techniques that they have applied, e.g. work 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

paint codes and formulas

TDS and SDS for paint material

two different vehicle panels requiring colour matching

PPE needed for paint colour matching

paint and colour matching materials

paint mixing materials and system

sample colours to be matched

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for applying basic colour matching techniques using vehicle paint codes.
