Toronto, Ontario -- Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes has released its 2026 wall calendar, featuring 12 custom and restored vehicles from collision repair and restoration shops across North America.
The calendar highlights builds ranging from the 1950s through the 2010s, selected through the company’s annual calendar contest. Entries are submitted by collision repair and restoration shops, as well as independent designers, pinstripers and customizers across North America. All featured vehicles are finished exclusively using Sherwin-Williams paint and refinish products, including Ultra 7000, Sunfire PRO, ATX and the Ultra 9K waterborne basecoat system.
“Every year we receive more and more entries into our annual calendar contest and it becomes all the more difficult to pick just 12 to best represent what our custom builders and painters can first perceive and then achieve, with Sherwin-Williams,” says Tony D’Acquisto, global vice president of marketing, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. “This year’s calendar features imaginative craftsmanship, vibrant colors, intricate designs, pearlescent finishes, artistic airbrushing, flames, fire and more -- there’s no doubt our customers keep raising the bar when it comes producing these amazing moving works of art.”
The 2026 calendar includes a 1971 Chevrolet C10 built by Lucky13 Paint Shop of Edmonton, Alberta, which appears as the July feature image in the calendar. Lucky13 Paint Shop was previously featured as the cover of Bodyworx Professional.
The cover vehicle for the 2026 calendar is a custom 1972 Chevrolet C10 built by Big Kid Custom Rides of Saratoga Springs, Utah. The truck was finished in custom grey and bright white Sunfire PRO by owner and chief executive officer Bryce Green.
“[Sherwin-Williams] Sunfire Pro has been a fantastic product to work with — the color we chose was a little bit darker, a custom grey I personally created, and the customer absolutely loved how the C10 came out. Hands down, this is the best truck we’ve ever done so far.”
The 2026 Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes calendar is available for purchase online.
