BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of the corrosion phenomena
are:
- atmospheric pollution
- salinity and humidity in the atmosphere
(sea areas or humid climate)
- seasonal environmental conditions.
- salt scattered on the road surface to melt
ice and snow.
The abrasive action of atmospheric dust and
wind-carried sand, mud and stones should not be
underestimated.
For your vehicle,
Alfa Romeo has adopted
the best technological solutions to protect the
bodywork from corrosion.
The main measures are:
- Paint products and systems that provide the
vehicle with high-resistance features against
corrosion and abrasion.
- Use of galvanized (or pre-treated) metal
sheets whose most exposed parts are highly
resistant against corrosion.
- Spraying of the underbody, engine
compartment, internal part of the
wheelhouse and of other parts using highly
protective wax products.
- Spraying of the plastic material most
exposed parts with protective function:
under the doors, inside part of the
mudguards, edges, etc.
- Use of ventilated box sections treated
with wax products, to prevent water
condensation and pooling, which may lead
to the internal formation of rust.
TIPS FOR KEEPING THE
BODYWORK IN GOOD
CONDITION
Paint
Paint does not only have an aesthetic function
but also serves to protect the metal sheets.
In the event of abrasions or deep scratches,
we recommend that you have the necessary
touch-ups made immediately, to avoid any rust
formation.
Touch-ups do not feature particular difficulties,
even on metallic finishes. For all paint touch-ups,
use only the genuine products indicated on the
label applied on the engine compartment lid.
