What does I-CAR say about when corrosion protection should be restored?

Ask I-CAR

Share: |

Coatings applied by the vehicle makers must be restored during repairs:

Where the coatings have been disturbed or removed. Neglecting corrosion protection can cause corrosion to form under a paint film or in an area where chipped paint occurs.
Because the steps and coatings applied by vehicle makers are there for a reason. There are no unnecessary steps done on the assembly or paint line.
Because if not restored, corrosion damage will occur. The corrosion may only be a visible annoyance in some areas, but it speaks to the quality of the repair process.
