Reader thechef spotted these cool Mazda 3 hatchbacks in Thailand sporting Coca Cola paintjobs and he wishes to share it with fellow readers, so here they are!
I think they look pretty neat, in fact it’s always interesting to see how companies do up their fleet if a custom paintjob is required.
More photos after the jump.

Lol…. Nowadays people tend to do all sorts of things to their cars…
is this for real?
maybe the white lines should cover up to the tyre and not only the doors?
i dont think its a paintjob…its one of those custom stickers….wen u see thm u wdnt be able to tell if thy r paint or stickers..dats how well it blends into the paint
is it for sale or ………….
Must be for promotional purpose!
Er, did I miss out something. Has this become a gossip column or something?
The paint job is not especially different or nice. Why are the pictures on the site ? Not much happening in Auto world ?
Hey, a reader just wanted to share something interesting he saw in Thailand. Cut people some slacks, OK? Try not to be so insensitive…
our Celcom Xpax-themed Juara also not bad….
because it is quick and easy to post while i write other stuff.
r those car 4 sale ?
I’ve spotted a few Coca-Cola Satria before, so to me, this is not new.
I guess Coca-Cola has found a new way to advertise, heheh.
notice how the cars don’t have any number plates
maybe its the prize for certain coke competition/lucky draw!
so we’ll be expecting to see more company to stick their logo onto their lucky draw prize…. But kinda weird if you see Colgate logo on a VW, or even Petronas on Audi, or Samsung on a Myvi….
sorry paul

its probably their “marketing fleet” cars. the “coke satrias” in malaysia were driven exclusively by their marketing staff.
It is not paint. It's a decal that can be easily applied and removed. At one time a few years back a company was doing this on folks' personal cars to be used as a means of advertisement for certain brands of products. About 8 years ago I looked into it one time and was informed that if they chose your auto for this decal (of course you had to apply and be chosen) they would pay you each month. And from what I was informed that you could make upwards to $600 USD a month.
The way that you (errrr your auto) was chosen (not in any particular order of value) and how much $$ you received each month:
1) You had to apply
2) The type of auto you drove
3) How many miles you drove a day/week/month
4) The route you frequently drive
At the time I saw this they were using a lot of the newer re-introduced VW Beetles. Some of the products being advertised were:
Coke
Snapple
Subway sandwiches
Baskin Robbins ice cream
