Rust Resistant Body
Rust-Resistant Body1. General
Rust-resistant performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel, as well as by an anti-corrosion treatment that includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded part such as the hood.
2. Anti-corrosion Sheet Steel
Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used as the following illustration.
3. Wax and Sealer
Wax is applied to the edges of the door lower portion, door hinge and fuel filler lid hinge to improve rust-resistant performance. Sealer is applied to hemmed portions of the door panels and engine hood.
4. Under Coat
Acrylic acid resin is applied to the under side of the body and the inside of the wheel housing and other parts that are susceptible to damage from stone chips, thus improving the rust resistance of these areas.
5. Anti-chipping Application
A soft-chip primer is used on the front end of the hood in order to minimize paint damage due to chipping and improve the anti-corrosion performance.
