Rust Resistant
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 which includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood, doors and rocker panels.
2. Anti-Corrosion Sheet Steel
Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used in all areas other than the roof and interior parts.
3. Wax and Sealer
Wax and sealer are applied to the hemmed portions of the hood, door panels, rocker panels, and back door to improve rust-resistant performance.
4. Under Coat
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is applied to the underside of the body, inside the rear wheel housings, and other parts that are susceptible to stone chipping damage, thus improving the rust-resistant performance of these areas.
5. Anti-Chipping Application
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coating is applied to the under side of the body.
The bottom side of the cowl panel, the fender apron and other parts which are subject to damage by stone chipping. In addition, soft-chip primer and urethane chipping paint are applied to the front hood area and lower door panel area.
