Spanish term

Proyecto de Ampliación de Pintura

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing
I am translating a first-aid manual for a manufacturer and I'm having a hard time translating "Proyecto de Ampliación de Pintura." The full sentence is: Es el encargado de evaluar la escena, comenzar la revisión del lesionado y activar al servicio médico de urgencia, que en el Proyecto de Ampliación de Pintura está a cargo del servicio médico.

Painting Expansion Project doesn't seem right.

Paint (Production) Expansion Project

Not Painting, but Paint, I think: this must refer to a plan to expand this manufacturer's paint production capacity.

Here's a Mexican document on what sounds like a similar project by a company called Productos Químicos y Pinturas, S.A. de C.V.:

"PROYECTO DE AMPLIACIÓN DE RESINAS Y PINTURAS"
[...]
"El proyecto consiste en la ampliación de la infraestructura y capacidad de producción. [...]
Tipo de Actividad o Giro Industrial: Producción de todo tipo de pinturas, recubrimientos e impermeabilizantes."

Just "Paint Expansion Project" would do, but I think it makes it clearer if you add "Production":

"Vogel Paint Expansion Project Ahead of Schedule
Vogel Paint announced that phase three of a five-year, $29.3 million expansion plan for its powder coating operation located at the company’s headquarters in Orange City, Iowa, will begin ahead of schedule."

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Charles Davis! Juan Arturo also had a good suggestion with "Area," which is similar to Production, and both words are being added to the translation. You guys were a great help!"

Así como lo tienes y le agregaría ¨area¨.

I think this is the idea ... nothing to do with "painting"
