PPG has announced that it will host top painters, exhibit radically painted cars and motorcycles, and display artwork by more than 30 automotive artists at this year’s SEMA Show in Booth 24501. In addition, PPG will highlight several new refinish products.
Painters such as Charley Hutton (Charley Hutton’s Color Studio), Bobby Alloway (Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop), Dave Perewitz (Perewitz Cycle Fabrication), Kenny Youngblood (Youngblood Art), and Tom and Mitch Kelly (Kelly & Son Crazy Painters) will greet visitors at the booth. They will sign autographs, share painting techniques and discuss the PPG products they use exclusively. The Kellys will also be unveiling a new custom car creation a ’57 Chevy convertible finished with PPG waterborne Vibrance Collection Money Green and silver colors and handing out keepsake souvenir posters.
In addition, PPG has the following events lined up for the show:
- Bill Steele of Steele’s Kustoms, Oakdale, Pa., will present “Blue Baller,” a retro-styled bike with a shovelhead motor, lots of chrome, candy blue tones and a clearcoated Ditzler Big Flake silver mini-flake finish.
- Brian Mobeck will exhibit his 2013 Ridler Award “Great Eight” finalist “Archetype,” a handmade ’33 Ford look-alike with a gleaming cherry cocktail paint job from Unique Auto and Body in Blaine, Minn.
- Daniel Galvez from Danny D. Pinstriping and Paint in Baldwin Park, Calif., will show a 1967 Chevy Impala with a teal, blue and purple finish accented with Danny D.’s pinstriping.
