Abstract

The growing automotive industry sector has also increased the need for human resources in this field. SMK PGRI 4 Serang City is one of the human resources providers of Motorcycle Automotive Engineering graduates. Painting is part of the motorcycle assembly industry that demands high competence from production operators. Indonesia's unpredictable weather also causes vehicle paint to fade quickly, so vehicle paint repairs need to be done through repainting. The airbrush technique that uses air pressure instead of a brush can speed up the painting process. At SMK PGRI 4 Serang City, training in painting with the airbrush technique has never been conducted. Therefore, the author provides airbrush training to improve students' creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. The training consists of theory and demonstrations accompanied by painting practice. This training is guided by two samurai education painting trainers from Samurai Paint Kirobushi. Evaluation results showed that 80–88% of participants achieved technical competency indicators, 85–87% demonstrated creativity-related competencies, and more than 80% showed entrepreneurial awareness. This ability has the potential to make students creative and innovative entrepreneurs.
