TCI develops red powder coatings for Fiat Chrysler automobiles TCI Powder Coatings has developed a specially formulated product for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) in its new product development lab. FCA needed a ‘Demonic Red’ color that would meet under-body and under-hood requirements as well as performance specifications to protect the valve covers and engine blocks of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Other powder coaters were struggling to find a match within a reasonable timeline. With the support of TCI Powder Coatings’ Product Development Team, the development of the ‘Demonic Red’ color was prioritized and launched via TCI’s stage gate process. Through this process, TCI was able to quickly dedicate its resources, prioritize the project and deliver on an expedited timeframe. The Chrysler Zr3 Performance Red powder coating was developed and soon approved by FCA. TCI Powder Coatings was able to deliver on its promise of quick turnaround without sacrificing performance or quality.
