Introduction
Mechanics with experience in automotive refinishing technology are able to refinish, repair and maintain painted surfaces on a range of automotive vehicles, motorcycles, marine crafts, aircraft, caravans, amongst many other vehicles. These experts would most likely be able to comment upon the degree of damage done to the exterior of a car. Automotive refinishers work to:
• Prepare substrates, including removing paint and masking panels
• Prepare spray painting equipment
• Apply colour matching techniques using vehicle paint codes
• Apply refinishing primers
Mechanics working with automotive refinishing technology would be able to assist in matters relating to the provision of refinishing services. This could be used to indicate whether certain services are overcharging or undercharging for their work. They would also be able to comment on the efficacy of certain paint jobs in determining whether or not they have been completed to a high standard.
To work with automotive refinishing technology, one may usually hold a nationally recognised Certificate III in Automotive Refinishing Technology at minimum. The specific specialisation and background needed by your automotive refinisher will be determined by the matter which requires examination.
