If you love cars, this nationally recognized event is for you, as it
attracts more than 6,500 hot rods, customs, classics, muscle cars and
trucks from 1972 and earlier. Builders and enthusiasts will gather to
network, develop ideas and answer the all-important question, “What
color should I paint my new project car?”
Axalta representatives will be on hand to offer show attendees amazing
examples of automotive art created with our brilliant paint including
all of our global refinish brands: Cromax®, Nason®,
Standox® and Spies Hecker, as well as our Hot Hues™ line of
custom colors.
Axalta will also feature its 2016
Paint Outside the Can Contest. The contest is an invitation to
automotive painters from across the United States and Canada to unleash
their creativity using any Axalta-branded coating system to paint and
decorate an unused, standard one-gallon paint can.
Submissions will be recognized and displayed via select social media
channels throughout the contest. After the contest closes on September
15, 2016, six “Celebrity Picks” will be selected by industry celebrities
who will vote for their favorites based on creativity, execution and
degree of difficulty. In addition, six “Fan Favorites” will be chosen by
fans based on the number of photo “likes” that these favorites received
on Axalta’s Instagram page. Finally, one “Best-in-Show” grand prize
winner will be selected from the six “Celebrity Picks.”
