1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.5 Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are identified and checked for serviceability

1.6 Work is planned to identify air dry and polyurethane refinishing method, minimise waste, and prevent damage to vehicle

2. Carry out application activities

2.1 Refinishing materials are mixed and applied according to manufacturer recommended intervals and safety and environmental requirements , and without causing damage to system or components

2.2 Refinishing materials are dried using approved methods and equipment

2.3 Paint finish is checked  against specifications

2.4 Paint surface faults are removed using compounds, polishes and glazes

3. Complete work processes

3.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and vehicle or component is presented ready for use

3.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored

3.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures

3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Release 1 

New unit of competency.

Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

  • apply air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials to two different vehicle body components, in which the work must involve:
  • one component using paint with additive
  • one component using paint without additive.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to applying air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials, including procedures for:
  • selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • using technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) for polyurethane refinishing materials
  • handling and storing paint materials
  • using tools and equipment
  • using approved drying area
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
  • paint manufacturer specifications
  • types and use of air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials
  • air dry and polyurethane refinishing material application methods and techniques, including:
  • spray and drying equipment
  • paint fault and rectification procedures
  • drying methods for air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials
  • correct use of positive air feed masks
  • types and use of spray guns, including:
  • spray gun operation and spraying techniques
  • spray gun cleaning and maintenance methods
  • procedures for protecting vehicle and components when applying paints
  • procedures for final inspection of polyurethane refinished surface.

Assessment Conditions

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 air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials they have applied to vehicle 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
  • manufacturer specifications
  • TDS and SDS for air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials
  • PPE required to apply air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials
  • air dry and polyurethane refinishing materials
  • two different vehicles requiring the application of air dry and polyurethane refinishing material
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for applying air dry and polyurethane refinishing material.
