AURVTP014 Colour match multi-layer and clear over base two-pack paints on vehicles and components
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to match vehicle or component multi-layer and clear over base 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.

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 colour matching of multi-layer and clear over base paints they have undertaken with vehicles and components, e.g. work 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
