Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to match vehicle or component direct gloss solid paint colours using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) paint codes. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, identifying paint codes, 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 direct gloss solid paint colour they have matched to vehicles or components, 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

OEM paint codes and specifications

TDS and SDS for paint materials

PPE required to colour match direct gloss solid paint colours

colour test cards

paint and materials to colour match solid paint colours

three different painted vehicle panels requiring colour matching of direct gloss solid paint

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for matching direct gloss solid paint colour on vehicles or components.
