A method for coating a radiator support assembly for a motor vehicle comprising the steps of:
- providing a phosphate bath;
- providing magnesium components for the radiator support assembly;
- coating the magnesium components to prevent the magnesium components from contaminating the phosphate bath dipping the coat magnesium componets into the phosphate bath;
- assembling the dipped magnesium components into the radiator support assembly;
- and
- painting the assembled radiator support assembly.
A method for coating a radiator support assembly for a motor vehicle comprising the steps of:
- providing a phosphate bath;
- providing a magnesium radiator support for the radiator support assembly;
- coating the magnesium radiator support to prevent the magnesium radiator support from contaminating the phosphate bath;
- assembling the magnesium radiator support and other non-magnesium components to form the radiator support assembly, the coating preventing corrosion when the magnesium radiator support is assembled to the non-magnesium components;
- coating the radiator support assembly in the phosphate bath;
- and
- painting the radiator support assembly.
A method for coating a radiator support assembly for a motor vehicle comprising the steps of:
- providing a phosphate bath;
- providing a magnesium radiator support for the radiator support assembly;
- pre-coating the magnesium radiator support with a phosphate material;
- applying a sealer to the pre-coated magnesium radiator support;
- coating the pre-coated magnesium radiator support with sealer thereon to prevent the pre-coated magnesium radiator support with the sealer thereon from contaminating the phosphate bath;
- assembling the coated magnesium radiator support and other non-magnesium components together to form the radiator support assembly;
- coating the radiator support assembly in the phosphate bath;
- and
- painting the radiator support assembly.
