AURVTP026 Apply basic airbrush techniques to vehicle body panels
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to apply basic airbrush techniques to a variety of vehicle panels and substrates. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, selecting designs and templates, applying refinishing materials according to workplace and customer instructions, 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.

pictorial reproduction
highlighting
special effects.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to applying basic airbrush techniques to vehicle body panels, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
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
key features of stencils and graphic design techniques used with vehicle substrates
types and application methods for airbrushing automotive paints and designs, including correct use of positive air feed masks

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 airbrushing activities that they have carried out on vehicle substrates, 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
workplace instructions
PPE required to apply airbrushing
clear top coat refinishing materials
airbrush spray guns and paint materials
two different vehicle body panels or substrates specified in the performance evidence requiring the application of basic airbrush designs
airbrush spray guns
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for applying basic airbrush techniques to vehicle body panels.
