Rustproofing

A TEN-STEP PROCESS:: (1) all exterior body welds ground flat and smoothed.
(2) cleaned in powerful cleaning solution -dip-tank plus overhead spray
(3) rinsed in warm water.
(4) double-rinsed to remove all traces of cleaner and dirt.
(5) rustproofed with phosphate solution -dip plus spray.
(6) rinsed in cold water to set phosphate-dip plus spray.
(7) surface conditioned for best paint adhesion-acid dip plus spray.
(8) dried with hot-air blasts, then oven heat.
(9) rustproofed -dipped to coat lower body inside and out.
(10) heat-cured in oven after dipping.


Entering tank, body noses down. Special primer flows into critical fender areas.	Rustproofing- dip penetrates every seam, seals every surface up to 22 inches high.	Leaving tank, the rear end dips deeper, coating- rearwheelhousing surfaces.

SEVEN RUSTPROOFING DIPS-PLUS COMPLETE SPRAY PROTECTION
Deep-dipped seven times, sprayed and washed ten times, oven-baked three times -all these operations combat corrosion, protect the finish of every standard-size Dodge, Dart and 880 model. Each body is dipped in rust-resistant primer three inches deeper than ever before, adding 15% more corrosion protection to vital underbody areas. Metal surfaces are bonderized so primer and paint won't peel, flake, or blister.

STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR TRIM

For longer lasting, better appearance, high-grade stainless steel is used for body moldings and ornamentation. Molding clips are made of nonrusting nylon, designed to hold the molding slightly away from body surfaces to prevent scratching, allow water to drain away freely.

GALVANIZED ROCKER PANELS

On many cars, rust shows up first at the rocker panels underneath the doors. Standard-size Dodge and Dart models have extra protection in these vulnerable areas. Steel for body side-sills is "Galvanized"-plated with rustproof zinc on inner and outer surfaces before fabrication. Another Dodge durability feature.

BODY FINISH, EXTERIOR: Hi-baked Lustre-Bond enamel for durable, long-lasting beauty, resistance to scratching and chipping.
No polishing needed for years; holds high-gloss shine.
All 880 paints will be Acrylic enamel except Onyx.
