I-CAR · July 19, 2022 · Honda, Acura
Summary
This article outlines Honda and Acura's strict guidelines for restoring corrosion protection during collision repairs, detailing the specific application requirements for seam sealers, cavity wax, epoxy primer, and backside treatment of new panels. It emphasizes that failure to follow these guidelines can lead to premature repair failure and directs technicians to vehicle-specific manuals and bulletins for approved materials.
What to do on the job
Apply 2K epoxy primer to all bare metal surfaces before applying any seam sealer, body filler, or other refinishing products, and never apply seam sealers directly to bare metal.
How to use it
