Challenge Accepted: Fast Pace, Visionary Coating on Chevrolet FNR

So BASF’s Coating division quickly went to work, creating a metallic, blackish blue color called Mid-Night Glimmer, which ultimately became the top contender in the eyes of Shanghai General Motors and Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC). But once the design and color were finalized, timing was tight because the grand debut at Auto Shanghai was just a week away.
