BASF revealed a restyled vehicle, hosted celebrity autograph sessions and presented the latest in car color technology from their Glasurit, R-M and Carizzma Colors paint lines at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, Nov. 5 to Nov. 8 in Las Vegas.

A restyled 2013 Scion FR-S from Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs was unveiled. The vehicle features BASF’s new ONYX HD Low VOC Productive System. The new system produces low VOC basecoats that can be formulated as either waterborne or solventborne – the first system on the market to provide such options.
