A method for applying a coating of a corrosion resistant material to an individual vehicle frame component or to an assembled vehicle frame structure includes the initial step of heating the vehicle frame component to a predetermined temperature, such as by passing it through a furnace. Then, a coating of a first corrosion resistant material, such as wax, is applied to the vehicle frame. Preferably, the coating of the first wax is applied to the vehicle frame structure by dipping it in a hot bath of the first wax material. The vehicle frame structure is then removed from the bath, and heat is maintained thereon to allow excess first wax to drip off. A coating of a second corrosion resistant material, such as wax, is then applied at localized areas of the vehicle frame structure in place of the first wax coating. The first wax can be removed by any suitable method, such as by scraping, dissolving, or masking the localized area of the vehicle frame structure. Preferably, however, the second corrosion resistant material is applied by spraying it at a sufficient velocity and temperature so that the first wax coating is simultaneously removed and replaced by the second wax coating. After the second wax has been applied to the localized areas of the vehicle frame structure, the frame is cooled to harden the coatings of the first and second waxes.
