Weld-Through Primer Guidelines: Genesis
I-CAR · September 30, 2022 · Genesis
Summary
This document outlines Genesis' guidelines for using weld-through primer (referred to as zinc corrosion inhibitor) during body panel replacement and sectioning procedures. It specifies that the primer should be applied to mating surfaces where epoxy adhesive cannot be used, and notes that Genesis does not recommend a specific brand of primer.
What to do on the job
Apply a zinc-based weld-through primer to mating surfaces prior to welding where epoxy adhesive cannot be applied, ensuring the primer is removed from the direct weld zone before performing GMA welding.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and material costs for applying zinc-based weld-through primer during structural panel replacement or sectioning on Genesis vehicles. Refer to the specific vehicle's Body Repair Manual (BRM) under 'Body Panel Repair Procedures' to verify exact application instructions and to defend the necessity of corrosion protection in areas where structural adhesives are not utilized.
