then be primed with two thin coats of primer

applied by brush.

After the primer has dried, apply several thin

layers of topcoat until the surface of the

repaired area is flush with the surrounding

paintwork.

Stir both primer and touch-up paint thor-

oughly before use and allow each coat to

dry before applying the next.

Two-coat enamel

As the name implies, two-coat enamel is

applied in two operations. The first coat, the

base color, contains the pigment, metal

flakes and binder. The second coat consists

of a clear enamel, which provides the final

gloss for the paintwork and protects the

base from moisture and environmental con-

taminants.

Touch-up stone-chip damage as follows:

1 Thoroughly clean the damaged area.

2 Then apply the primer, base color and

finally, the clear enamel. To achieve the

best finish, apply two or three coats of

primer.

Anti-corrosion

treatment

The entire car undergoes a series of anti-

corrosion processes during production.

These include electrophoretic priming,

PVC-based coating to protect against stone

chip damage and corrosion, and treatment

of body cavities and members with thin,

penetrating rustproofing oil.

In addition, most body panels, such as the

hood, doors and floor pan are galvanized.

The anti-corrosion treatment on some parts

of the car is constantly exposed to wear and

prone to damage. This applies particularly

to the underside of the car and inside the

wheel arches, where grit, road salt and the

like that are thrown up can give rise to cor-

rosion where the underseal has worn away.

The extent of this obviously depends on the

conditions in which the car is used.

Accordingly, make it a habit to hose the

underside of the car often and to inspect the

condition of the underseal. The anti-corro-

sion warranty does not relieve the car owner

of the need to carry out normal maintenance

to the rustproofing and to make good any

damage.
