Rust Resistant

Rust-Resistant Body

Description

Rust-resistant performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel and an anti-corrosion treatment by applying wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood, doors and rocker panels.

Anti-Corrosion Sheet Steel





Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used in all areas other than the roof and interior parts.

Wax and Sealer

Wax and sealer are applied to the hemmed portions of the hood, door panels and luggage compartment door to improve rust-resistant performance.

Under Coat





Formed 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 front and rear wheel houses, the fender apron and other parts which are subject to damage by stone chipping.

Anti-Chipping Application





Anti-chipping paint and PVC chipping primer are applied to the lower door panel area, front and rear wheel arches and the rocker panel area to protect them from stone chipping. In addition, soft-chip primer is applied to the hood.
