Cars in new colors can be expected until the New Year
The Russian automotive giant AvtoVAZ is working to expand the color range of Niva Legend SUVs, which was reduced after the departure of imported BASF and PPG enamels from Russia. The Telegram channel “Autopotok” spoke about new progress in this direction.
According to an Autopotok informant, the plant treated several three-door SUVs with metallic paint in new shades. Moreover, if an unsuccessful attempt was reported over the weekend, now the quality turned out to be better. The cause of failure is seen not as the enamels used, but as the equipment. The source emphasized:
The equipment is ancient, “dozens” have been painted on it, it’s dirty and shagreen, and a lot of work has to be done.
It is reported that “marketable” cars in new colors will appear before the end of 2023.
