C4 frame/ underbody question
While working under my car, I have noticed some light corrosion along the frame rails. Was the frame a bare aluminum, or was it painted/protected from the factory? I tried looking for pictures but had no luck. I am thinking of removing the corrosion and spraying some black or gray epoxy.
