These include:
❒
Painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❒
Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel
sheets, with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒
Spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒
Spraying of plastic parts, with a pro-
tective function, in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒
Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.
BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒
atmospheric pollution;
❒
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or
hot humid climates);
❒
seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abra-
sive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand and mud and gravel raised
by other cars.
On your car, Abarth implemented the
best manufacturing technologies to effec-
tively protect the bodywork against cor-
rosion.
