Innovation in Exterior: Lexus RC Coupe
We are all ready to see the Lexus RC in 2014, but are you ready for the fiery new red exterior? Lexus is employing an entirely new paint process that is redefining the famous shine that every Lexus possesses. The new dynamic red exterior will be enhanced by using a bi-color base of both silver and red. The meticulous process is further augmented by applying the base coat four times and baking it twice. For the red-colored exterior, the process starts with a base-coat of silver, then a clear-coat. The clear coat is then followed with a translucent red-coat, then topped again with another clear coat. The four different coats are baked twice in order to achieve the perfect color.
This process complements the sheen of the vehicle beautifully. When light hits the exterior, it reflects not only off of the red-coat, but the silver beneath it, adding a shine that is unparalleled. The new Lexus RC Coupe in this ravishing red will be introduced in 2014, so keep an eye out for the gleaming masterpiece and make it your own!
