Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used as the following illustration.
3. Wax and Sealer
Wax and sealer are applied to the hemmed portions of the hood, door panels and back door to improve rust-resistant performance.
4. Under Coat
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coating is applied to the under side of the body. A thick coating to improve rust resistant performance is applied to the rear wheel house which are subject to damage by flying stones, etc.
5. Anti-Chipping Application
PVC chipping primer is applied to the lower door panel area, front wheel arch and the rocker panel area to protect them from flying stones. In addition, soft-chip primer is applied to the hood.
