Rust Resistant
Rust-Resistant Body1. 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
^ Clear anti-chipping tape and deck edge protector are used to protect the paint from flying stones and road debris.
^ 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 is applied to the front of the hood to help prevent rust.
