Body and Paint Minimum Requirements

This body and paint minimum requirements checklist helps collision centers and dealership workshops standardize safe, high-quality repairs. It covers PPE and safety records, technician skill mapping and certifications, equipment standards for alignment, welding, sanding, and painting, and 4S housekeeping. Guidance includes vehicle prep and marking, surface preparation and putty work, color matching, spray booth lighting and filtration, spray gun cleanliness, and compressed air moisture control. Quality assurance steps span in-process checks, final inspection criteria with adequate illumination, shower testing for glass repairs, and documentation. The checklist also supports kaizen practices such as Hoshin Kanri, SGA, KPI tracking, estimation accuracy, and customer satisfaction monitoring. Use it to verify compliance, reduce rework, and deliver consistent finishes.
