High-gloss, Mold-in-color Metallic Resin

This weatherable, integrally colored, high-gloss, metallic-look material eliminates the need for primer and paint (and its associated cost and environmental issues) while providing a scratch-and-mar-resistant surface that reduces apparent damage to the wheel flare caused by stone and gravel impact.  A proprietary, patent-pending tooling configuration was also key.  A cost savings of $10 / vehicle was achieved and finished parts can be easily recycled.
