At a first glance, it looks pretty colorful, to say the least. The Axalta-sponsored ride looks as it Byron drove the car straight into a rainbow. Considering that Axalta is a paint coatings provider, the resplendent livery is an accurate representation of the brand. The base color of the livery is black, with huge splashes of red, yellow, green and blue.

Right on the hood of the car is the giant Axalta logo, with another one situated on the side. Admittedly, there does not seem to be any other sponsor logo on the car. However, there is still a lot of time to secure a couple more sponsor logos on the #24 Chevrolet.

“We have been by William Byron’s side as he’s risen through the ranks at a young age, and it is an honor to continue to support one of our very own in his career,” Liberty President Jerry Falwell said. “William and Hendrick Motorsports have always been a perfect fit for Liberty University. We share the same values and are committed to the same mission that makes champions on the racetrack and champions in life.”
