Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to finish and prepare surfaces for painting.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare surface for painting
- 1.1. Hand/air tools are selected to meet the job requirements
- 1.2. Surfaces are cleaned and degreased
- 1.3. Final finishing is performed on parts and surfaces to organisation requirements
- 1.4. Reject parts and surfaces are identified, recorded and reported for rework or scrap according to organisation policy
2. Prime paint surfaces
- 2.1. The correct paint is selected/mixed
- 2.2. Paint is applied to the specified organisation standard
- 2.3. Finished surface is to the specified organisation quality
- 2.4. Reject paintwork is identified, recorded and reworked or scrapped in accordance with organisation policy
- 2.5. Appropriate personnel are notified at the completion of task

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
use finishing tools and equipment to prepare surfaces
produce parts with final finish to company standards
limit the number of faulty parts to less than quality standards
produce work flow records - written / electronic
apply company OH&S policy and procedures.
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.
