Axalta, manufacturer of liquid and powder coatings, announced that the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, driven by William Byron, will showcase the company’s 2020 Global Automotive Color of the Year, the blue-green chroma paint Axalta Sea Glass, at this year’s Daytona 500.

William is the perfect driver to bring this paint scheme to life and capture the checkered flag at the famed Daytona International Speedway.”
