PPG Automotive Refinish will make its colorful presence felt at the annual SEMA Show set for Nov. 4-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As in past years, there will be plenty of action around booth 24501 as PPG displays an array of brilliantly painted cars, bikes and even a boat—all reflecting today’s hottest trends in paint designs and finishes.

PPG has invited the people responsible for those spectacular paint jobs—some of the custom car world’s most renowned artists—to meet and greet booth visitors. The elite group includes Charley Hutton (Charley Hutton’s Color Studio), Bobby Alloway (Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop), Tom and Mitch Kelly (Kelly & Son Crazy Painters) and Kenny Youngblood (Youngblood Art). They’ll be ready to talk about their work, sign autographs and tell how and why they prefer PPG products to achieve their stunning designs. In addition, PPG will present work from some of the industry’s most talented designers and painters including several from PPG.

But that’s not all. Also appearing will be some of the fastest movers and shakers in the auto world: NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski and Indy driver Juan Pablo Montoya, both from Penske Racing, and drivers from the drag racing dynasty, John Force Racing, will be on hand to talk about their adventures on America’s racetracks.
