Specialization
Aimed at professionals in the painting area who wish to study in depth the different methods, equipment and products used in vehicle painting operations.
Employability: You will obtain the appropriate color to apply in the finishing paint, attending to composition and color matching techniques. You will learn to identify the color using the vehicle manufacturer’s color code, the color chart and variants or the spectrophotometer.
You will match the color on test tubes, respecting the application criteria (speed, application pressure, distance to the support, fluid peak in the gun, among others); you can compare it by spectrophotometer with the original color to avoid differences between the one obtained in the test tube and the color to be applied.
