Objective

The objective of this training lesson is to gain a thorough understanding of the airless spray unit requirements for pre-preparation, set-up, testing and shut-down procedures

A qualified and experienced spray painter does not just apply coatings by spray equipment. Other important aspects of the occupation include:

• Pre-inspection of equipment.
• Setting up equipment ready for use.
• Conducting essential tests prior to spray painting.
• Shutting down equipment, cleaning and storage.

Objective

The objective of this training Lesson is to understand how to read and understand the manufacturer's product data sheet and the importance of using the product within these guidelines.

• All coatings have product data sheets.
• Do not consider using a product until you have read and understood the data sheet.
• Do not confuse the general data sheet with the Health and Safety Data Sheet.

Objective

The objective of this training lesson is to understand the importance of paint mixing of both one and two-part paints and material handling.

• Paint mixing can be hazardous.
• Review product data sheets before work commences.
• All paints require some form of mixing.
• Some paints contain heavy pigments, and additional mixing will be required.

Objective

The objective of this training lesson is to understand the quality control process and procedures to be adopted for spray painting, specific environmental conditions, and wet and dry film thickness.

• The spray painter should be aware of the specific constraints of environmental conditions with paints and coatings.
• The spray painter should have a thorough understanding of both wet and dry film thickness.

Objective

The objective of this training lesson is to outline the practical assessment requirements and prepare the candidate to undertake the practical assessment.
