‘GENERAL MOTORS ENGINEERING STANDARDS ANTI-CORROSION COATING FOR FRAMES 9986165, 1 SCOPE. This specification covers the pretreatment pint materials and some processing equitements for a water- ‘borne black, electrodepostion primer used on frames. Access, vent and dain holes may have to be added to frame rails and cross members to asstre adequate paint film coverage is applied to the enclosed eavity. ‘The material shall be applied {minimum film thickness of 25 microns on exterior surfaces ‘and 13 mierons om all inierior surfaces. 2.
