Rust Resistant
Rust-Resistant BodyDescription
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 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 back door to improve rust-resistant performance.
Under Coat
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.
Anti-Clipping 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.
