Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Identify paint film faults

1.1. Paint film faults are identified to ensure the correct repair methods are applied in the rework processes

1.2. The cause/s of the paint film faults are identified in order to ensure fault is rectified and / or removed during the rework process

2. Select, use and maintain appropriate tools and equipment

2.1. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and inspected to meet job requirements

2.2. Tools and equipment that are faulty are reported, tagged and stored in designated areas for repair

2.3. Tools and equipment are cleaned at the end of each paint rework to prevent blemishes to surfaces on the next paint rework

2.4. Tools, equipment and materials are used in accordance with organisation and OHS requirements

3. Prepare faulty paint surfaces for rectification

3.1. Masking papers and tapes are applied to the surrounding panels to protect painted surfaces from damage and overspray

3.2. Faulty paint surfaces are scuffed back to the required pre-paint standard

3.3. Scuffed panels are wiped and cleaned to the required pre-paint standard

3.4. Scuffed panels are inspected to ensure the paint fault has been totally removed

4. Apply putties, primer surfaces and colour coatings

4.1. Putties and primer surfaces are prepared to the consistency recommended in the suppliers instructions guide

4.2. Putties and primer surfaces are applied to the specifications stated in the standard operating procedures

4.3. Colour coatings are matched in accordance with the paint number shown on the vehicle identification plate

4.4. Colour coatings are mixed to the viscosity recommended in the supplier instruction guide

4.5. Colour coatings are applied and blended into the existing paint work

5. Finish repainted area and complete paperwork

5.1. Painted surfaces are baked to the required hardness

5.2. Repainted surfaces are polished to the required lustre

5.3. Surrounding areas are cleaned to ensure they show no excess materials or overspray

5.4. Rework job sheets are completed and attached to the vehicle

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and enterprise policies and procedures for managing personal work priorities

maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

achieving production goals

achieving work quality goals

responding positively to changing work requirements

contributing effectively to cost reduction initiatives

effectively applying problem solving techniques

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

employ appropriate reworking techniques for identified faults

prepare and use solvents to eliminate rust, remove greases, and remove protective waxes

interpret and communicate operational information

select appropriate sealants, adhesives, paints, tools and equipment

employ mechanical and manual sanding techniques

mix, prepare and apply paints, primers, lacquers, enamels, and two pack paints

employ safe working practices

maintain company records - paper based / electronic.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
