PPG to host elite of the custom and racing worlds at SEMA

Mississauga, Ontario — November 3, 2014 — PPG Automotive Refinish will display an array of brilliantly painted cars, bikes and even a boat at the annual SEMA Show set for November 4 to 7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As in past years, there will plenty of action around booth 24501, and this year 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.

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.
