Undercoat:

WARNING

  • Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
  • Ventilate when spraying undercoat.

NOTE:

  • Mask the exhaust system, oxygen sensors and suspension mount area to prevent overspread from the undercoat.
  • Follow the undercoating manufacturer's instructions.
  1. Clean the body with wax and grease remover before the undercoat is sprayed.
  2. Apply the undercoat to the front wheelhouse, rear wheelhouse and undersides of the front floor and rear floor (see page 5-27).
  3. Coat the bottom of the fuel tank.

Anti-rust Agents:

WARNING

  • Anti-rust agents contain substances that are harmful if you breathe or swallow them, or get them on your skin. Wear overalls, gloves, eye protection and an approved respirator while using such agents.
  • Ventilate when spraying an anti-rust agent since it contains a small amount of organic solvent. Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away.

NOTE:

  • Do not spray an anti-rust agent on the brake system, exhaust system and its related parts, emission control devices in the engine compartment, ball joint cover, fuel strainer and exterior and interior parts.
  • Wipe the excess agent with a clean rag dampened with light oil.
  • Follow the anti-rust agent manufacturer's instructions.
  1. Before applying an anti-rust agent, thoroughly clean the area to be coated with a steam cleaner, etc., and let it dry. Waxoyl may be applied to wet surface.
  2. Apply anti-rust agent from the installation hole and the access hole of parts in the outer panel and the frame (see page 5-28). Spray an anti-rust agent sufficiently unit the excess amount oozes out when filling the side sill.
