Takubo Engineering Co., Ltd. has applied an indium mirror coating to the emblem of the Anest Iwata Racing Lexus Racing vehicle. The Super GT-300 race features vehicles that have been customized from commercial cars to racing specifications, with Anest Iwata Co., Ltd. participating as Anest Iwata Racing. The emblem of this vehicle has been treated with an indium mirror coating that reproduces a chrome-like paint film using newly developed indium paint. Compared to traditional chrome plating production, this method consumes less paint, reduces painting costs, and significantly cuts down on waste disposal costs such as sludge fees, thereby improving environmental performance. The chrome-like paint film is recreated using a spray application. The indium mirror coat is realized through the Indium Mirror Coating System, achieved through a three-coat, three-bake process. This was developed through a collaboration between Musashi Paint Co., Ltd., Anest Iwata Co., Ltd., and Takubo Engineering Co., Ltd.
