Surface treatment
Surface treatment |
Apart from giving the car an attractive appearance, the chief purpose of the paint is to protect the body and other sheet metal parts from corrosion. The Saab 900 undergoes an extremely thorough surface treatment process during manufacture. All products used in this process are meticulously tested to ensure that they meet Saab Automobile AB's high standards of paint finish and corrosion protection.
This Service Manual deals chiefly with the corrosion- protection properties of the paint. To avoid deterioration of the corrosion protection after a bodywork repair, it is important for repairs to be carried out in the manner and with the materials specified in this Service Manual.
