Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to mix and apply clear over base (COB) paint materials to vehicle body components. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, identifying paint faults, preparing surface to be painted, selecting and applying COB two-pack refinishing materials according to manufacturer specifications, 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.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare to mix and apply COB two-pack refinishing materials to vehicle body components |
1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions 1.2 Vehicle paint specifications, technical data sheets (TDS) and paint safety data sheets (SDS) are accessed and interpreted 1.3 Refinishing materials are selected and inspected for quality 1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed 1.5 Refinishing tools and equipment , including personal protective equipment (PPE), are selected and checked for serviceability 1.6 Work is planned to identify mixing and application methods for COB two-pack materials, minimise waste, prevent damage to vehicle, and use time efficiently |
2. Mix COB two-pack refinishing materials |
2.1 COB two-pack refinishing materials are calculated according to paint manufacturer specifications, formulas and codes 2.2 Codes and information relevant to job requirement are recorded 2.3 Materials are mixed according to workplace procedures and safety and environmental requirements , and without causing damage to components or systems |
3. Apply COB two-pack refinishing materials |
3.1 Refinishing materials are applied using manufacturer recommended method and intervals, and according to safety and environmental requirements 3.2 Refinishing materials are dried using approved methods and equipment to ensure painted surface meets specifications |
4. Rectify paint faults |
4.1 Paint faults are identified according to industry and workplace procedures 4.2 Rectification procedures are selected to suit fault or damage type 4.3 Materials to rectify paintwork are determined from paint manufacturer information 4.4 Paint surface faults are rectified using compounds, polishes and glazes to blend rectified areas with existing paintwork |
5. Complete work processes |
5.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets workplace expectations and component is presented ready for use 5.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored 5.3 Tools and equipment are checked, reported if faulty, and stored according to workplace procedures 5.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures |
