What is a vehicle paint technician?

This apprenticeship is for those who want to learn how to apply paint and finishes to a vehicle that has been repaired by the vehicle body repairer. You will become brilliant at recognising the various materials used on vehicles and the prep needed to be done before applying the paints and finishes. It's a skilled job and you'll also be taught how to estimate costs accurately as well as given a thorough briefing in health and safety.

What is the work like?

When cars, vans, motorcycles and larger vehicles are damaged in accidents, they are taken to a body repair workshop. Some repairers will complete the process from start to finish and others will have specialised roles and work on one part of the repair process. Paint technicians are responsible for preparing vehicles to be painted after damage has occurred or panels have been replaced. This will include repairing minor scratches to match the rest of the vehicle. Duties of a paint technician may include:
• Ensuring all parts have been stripped from the vehicle in order for it to be painted
• Sanding down relevant area and adjoining areas for blending
• Masking out areas to be treated
• Etching and priming area to be treated
• Selecting, matching and mixing colour

How will I learn on a vehicle body paint technician apprenticeship?

This course usually takes three years to gain an NVQ/VCQ Level 3. To do this you'll need to go to a further education (FE) college or training centre on a day or block release programme. The rest of your time will be spent in a place of employment where you will get to learn practical skills from seeing the real working environment. You will shadow qualified technicians so that you are able to learn first-hand how to repair faults and damage. You will also get the opportunity to assist in the repair work. Once you pass your assessments and progress through your course you will be able to start completing tasks on your own. To ensure you are competent in completing tasks on your own a Remit assessor will visit you periodically at the work place to complete assessment testing with you.
