BODY PANEL UNDERCOATING AREAS

HINT:
1.

First wipe off any dirt, grease or oil with a rag soaked in a grease, wax and silicone remover.

Cover the surrounding areas with masking paper to avoid coating unnecessary areas. If other areas
are accidently coated, wipe off the coating immediately.

Apply the first coating of undercoat to all welded areas and panel joints, then apply a second coat over
the entire area.

Do not coat parts which become hot, such as the tailpipe, or moving parts, such as the propeller shaft.

Besides the locations described below, apply undercoating to all weld points under the body to insure
corrosion prevention.

Be sure to seal the edge of the flange of the member and bracket with undercoating.

If undercoat is damaged by peeling, cracks, etc., be sure to repair as necessary.

Before the undercoat apply sealer allowing rust prevention to be attained.

REFERENCE:

Referring to the notes above, undercoating should be applied according to the specifica-

tions for your country.
