Course image Vehicle Panel Protecting and Painting
Automobile Technology

This module describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to perform vehicle panel protection and painting. It is designed for students pursuing Advanced Diploma in automobile technology.

By the end of this module, trainees will be able to identify, select, and use appropriate protection and painting materials, ensuring effective surface preparation. They will acquire skills in removing rust, dents, and trim, applying fillers and putty, sanding surfaces, and conducting pre-painting preparation. Additionally, they will learn proper paint mixing, application, and refinishing techniques to achieve high-quality vehicle finishes.

This module equips students with the competencies necessary to restore and protect vehicle panels, ensuring durability, aesthetics, and compliance with industry standards.

Course image RESIZE AND RESHAPE VEHICLE PANEL
Automobile Technology

GENERAL INTRODUCTION:

Panel Beating or resize and reshape vehicle panel is a term used by the public to describe the entire repair process but for the trade it describes only part of the process. The parts it describes is the Repair Process that involves, straightening chassis rails and frames, removing and re-welding panels, fixing dents, confirming correct fit & function and other repair based work that is completed prior to paint refinishing. The panel beaters are responsible for ensuring that the shape, fit, function and specifications match that of a vehicle fresh off the factory assembly line
