Rust Resistant

Rust-Resistant Body

1. General

Rust-resistance 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 doors and rocker panels.

2. Anti-corrosion Sheet Steel





Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used as shown in the following illustration.

3. Anti-chipping

^ PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) anti-chipping coating is applied to the rocker panels to protect the paint on the outer panels from flying stones and road debris.





^ Soft anti-chipping primer and clear anti-chipping tape are applied to help prevent rust.
