PPG announces SEMA exhibit highlights

PPG will have extensive displays at the 2010 SEMA show in Las Vegas Nov. 2-5 both inside, in booth 2481, and outside in Silver Lot No. 9. A retro 1950's theme and décor will set the tone for PPG's participation in the event.

Celebrity painters Gene Winfield, Charley Hutton, and Dave and Jody Perewitz will be in attendance at the PPG indoor and outdoor exhibits. Winfield is one of the world's premier custom car painters and builders. Hutton and Dave Perewitz are recognized for their spectacular custom paint schemes. Jody Perewitz, Dave's daughter, is blazing her own distinctive custom paint path.

All four will be on hand to sign autographs and discuss their techniques for painting with PPG Vibrance Collection custom finishes and Envirobase® High Performance waterborne coatings.

The PPG indoor booth will display two PPG-painted 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille show cars - "WildCad," a purple model radically customized by Winfield and a custom restoration, this one yellow, by Todd Lewis of Xtreme Restorations, Slatersville, R.I. An exhibit of rock 'n' roll era guitars distinctively decorated by superstar painters of the custom car world will also be showcased.

Artists include Mitch and Tom Kelly of Kelly & Son - the Crazy Painters, Charles Armstrong, Auto Art Studios, Dave Garcia, Dave Garcia Kustom, Keith Hanson, Hanson Custom Design, Charley Hutton, Charley Hutton's Color Studio, Fred Sicoli, Killer Kreations, Dave Perewitz, Perewitz Cycle Fabrication and PPG's own Paul Stoll, John Snyder, and Chris Springer. Each has given his unique twist to these note-worthy instruments.
