Experts of PPG’s automotive OEM coatings and refinish businesses collaborated with Toyota Motorsports Garage to bring back to life the vintage colour scheme of the iconic Toyota Chinook camper for a reimagined version of vehicle.
PPG unveiled the new colours developed for the Toyota “Tacozilla” 4x4 overlander concept vehicle
– a reimagination of the iconic Toyota Chinook camper of the 1970s and 1980s – during the 2021 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.
Tacozilla is an off-road-ready Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport featuring a fully insulated “micro-house” with modern conveniences that can comfortably accommodate two people for on- and off-road adventures. The Chinook was introduced by Toyota in 1972 as a fuel-efficient alternative to conventional motorhomes.
Experts from PPG’s automotive OEM and refinish businesses collaborated with Toyota Motorsports Garage in selecting the vehicle’s white basecoat and vintage yellow, orange and bronze accents.
“This was a very fast-paced, exciting project that demonstrated our team’s unique ability to create and execute a colour scheme that helped bring our customer’s concept to life,” said Misty Yoemans, PPG colour styling manager, Americas.
Complete Customs in McKinney, Texas, applied all three PPG colours with support from PPG distributor English Colour and Supply in Richardson, Texas.
