Paint - Anti Chip Sealer

Number: 84-47

Section: 10 (I)

Date: Dec., 1983
Subject: ANTI-CHIP SEALER


Model and Year: 1983-84 "G" VANS
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


The anti-chip sealer applied to the lower exterior side body panels of subject vehicles is different at each of the two van assembly plants. Scarborough, Plant Code 4 (eleventh digit of VIN), is applying a smooth material. It is not distinguishable on the regular paint finish. Lordstown, Plant Code 7, however, uses a textured antichip sealer. Both sealers provide the same protection even though their appearance is different. Lordstown will incorporate the smooth finish sealer in the near future.
