Avant-garde color solutions by PPG add glamour to Chevrolet all-purpose sports concept car
The Chevrolet FNR-X, the first all-purpose sports concept vehicle from SAIC General Motors, made its world premiere at Auto Shanghai 2017. Its stylized and sophisticated appearance impressed the audience, including brilliant metallic color care of PPG's automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) color styling team.
Designed by SAIC General Motors experts at the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), the FNR-X combines the science and imagination of the Chevrolet brand while building on previous models’ high-performance and versatility. To showcase the off-road capability and performance of the FNR-X, PATAC designers and PPG color experts developed the “rhenium silver” color that gives the car a futuristic, outer-space look.
PPG’s silver coating complements Chevrolet’s golden bowtie emblem and mimics the look of high-gloss liquid metal, with a neutral color and silky pearl essence displaying metallic shades that differ based on viewing perspective and light.
