The next procedure of concept selection after concept screening and scoring is concept

feasible to attract costumer based on their needs, interest, and their expectation of our
thermochromic car paint. To achieve it, we do the survey through questionnaire and direct

concept that we proposed, starting from the work principle until the cost and benefits of our
product.

are male of the age range from 25 to 35 years old. 32% of the respondents are interested in the
product while 64% of it stated that they might be interested in the product. By that, we can
