Paint the Seat Pans |
Back
|
|
1. Mazda did not paint the seat pans.
You will find surface rust, this should be corrected. |
|
2. After removing the old hog-rings
from the edges
(with Side-Cutter Pliers, shown here in Blue)
you can lift and separate the foam (with the upholstery
attached)
from the metal seat pan.

|
3. You will need to spray the inside
and outside. |
|
4. 'Rust Converter' spray was used
here
to neutralize the rust, converting it to primer.
You can use whatever form of rust removal or
neutralizer
you prefer. |
|
5. Here the pan was painted gloss
Black... |
|
6. Others have painted their pans Silver... |
|
7. I now paint the pans
White:
a) the rust converter makes rust Black,
it is hard to see a
missed spot if using Black paint.
b) the clean steel is shiny silver,
it is hard to see a
missed spot if using Silver paint.
Paint the pans White. Easy to see any missed spots.
