Rust Resistant

Rust-Resistant Body

1. General

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

2. Anti-corrosion Sheet Steel





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

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 wheelhouse, which are subject to damage by flying stones, etc.
