211Car care and technical information

Stir both primer and touch-up enamel 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 Apply the primer, base color and finally,

the enamel. To achieve the best finish,

apply two or three coats of primer.

Anticorrosion treatment

The entire car is corrosion-protected at the

factory in different stages by an electrolytic

immersion coating and a polyester-based

protective coating to protect against corro-

sion caused by stones flung up by the

wheels. A thin penetrating anti-rust oil is

also applied in cavities and body members.

In addition to conventional anti-corrosion

treatment like painting, underbody treat-

ment and cavity treatment, most of the body

panel surfaces are galvanized. These

include the hood, the doors and the under-

body.

The anti-corrosion treatment on the under-

side of the car and inside the wheel arches

is particularly exposed to constant wear and

possible damage, the degree of which will

obviously depend on driving conditions.

What causes rust?

Steel body panels of automobiles are sub-

ject to rusting whenever air and moisture

manage to penetrate the protective finish,

and body panels may rust through if the pro-

cess is unchecked. Rusting can occur wher-

ever water is trapped or where the car’s

panels are continuously damp. Damage to

paint and undercoating by stones, gravel

and minor accidents immediately exposes

metal to air and moisture. Road salts used

for de-icing will collect on the bottom of the

car and promote rusting. Areas of the coun-

try with high humidity have great potential

for rust problems, especially where salt is

used on roads or there is moist sea air.

Industrial pollution (fallout) may also

damage paint and promote rusting.
