COURSE DESCRIPTION: Provides the knowledge needed for application and use of automotive paint systems. Course includes locating color codes, mixing formulas, matching and selections of materials. Proper paint gun use and adjustments is taught for the product being applied. In addition, the student practices correct masking and detailing techniques. 5. COURSE GOAL: 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students will: (A) Determine type and color of paint already on vehicle by manufacturer's vehicle information label. (B) Shake, stir, reduce, catalyze/activate, and strain paint according to manufacturer's procedures. (C) Apply finish using appropriate spray techniques (gun arc, gun angel, gun distance, gun speed, and spray pattern overlap) for the finish being applies. (D) Apply selected product on test and let-down panel in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations; check for color match. (E) Apply single stage topcoat for refinishing. (F) Apply basecoat/clear coat for panel blending or partial refinishing. (G) Apply basecoat/clear coat for overall refinishing. (H) Denib, buff, and polish finishes where necessary. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: Each student enrolled in the Automotive Collision program will be graded as follows: Lab skills attitude 1. Lab work consists of: (A) speed (B) accuracy (C) neatness and order (D) care of tools (E) attitude: student work habits, promptness, good attendance, project decision making. The ability to work without constant instruction. Responsibility to any given project or assignment. Laboratory projects will be evaluated on a weekly basis. lab skills 60% written assignments 20% written tests and quizzes 20% Each hour of absence constitutes a deduction of one point from the total final grade. Tardiness will be counted in 15-minute increments. The student will be dropped when he/she misses over 12 hours.

Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion. 8. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Automotive Paint Systems II. Manufacturer's Specifications III. Color codes and formulas IV. Paint Mixing V. Applying Finishes and Stages of Paint Layers VI. Overall Appearance of Finish 9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. 10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity.
