There's no doubt that there will be Chevrolet Camaros->ke248 littered throughout the SEMA Auto Show floor in Las Vegas, but one of the most impressive packages will be this Camaro Hot Wheels concept inspired by the Custom Camaro. This dazzling green 1:64-scale toy was part of the original 16 Hot Wheels released in 1968, so its presence at the show was surely felt by the kids at heart in attendance.

In order to present this package, Chevrolet took a Camaro SS and modified it with classic Hot Wheels design cues, including flat-black graphics, red-line wheels, and a dazzling metallic-green finish. No other details have been offered just yet, but this project also comes with a wide range of personalization possibilities, inspiring owners to build their own one-of-a-kind creation.

While the original Hot Wheels cars featured a metallic Spectraflame paint finishes, the Camaro Hot Wheels Concept comes with a brilliant, chrome-style finish. But while for the die-cast models the painting process was very simple: polishing and applying a metallic lacquer to them for the Camaro Concept the concept was much more complicated. The reflective finish was created using Gold Touch Inc.’s Cosmichrome product, starting with the application of a primer coat on an immaculately prepared surface. The primer coat was then sprayed with a liquid-metal solution to create the mirror-smooth, silver-chrome base coat. Afterward, the green tint was applied in several layers until the just-right color effect was achieved.
