PPG SEMA Booth to Feature Celebrity Customizers and Designers

Paint Your Ride Contest Winner Award Ceremony

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – October 24, 2008 – Some of the most accomplished custom automotive and motorcycle artists in the nation will appear in the PPG booth #23093 at the annual SEMA show to be held November 4 – 7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. They’ll be there to display their latest work: a series of custom painted surfboards. Each surfboard reflects the artist’s interpretation of the booth’s colorful theme which marks the introduction of PPG’s new waterborne-compliant Vibrance Collection® coatings and demonstrates there’s no need to compromise creativity when working with the line’s colors and special effect finishes.

The list of celebrity artists reads like a Who’s Who of customizers. Scheduled to appear are Charles Armstrong, Justin Barnes, John Deel, Marcos Garcia, Keith Hanson, Art Himsl, Charley Hutton, Mitch Kelly, Tom Kelly, Troy Lee, Dave Perewitz, Troy Powell and Larry Wood, chief designer at Hot Wheels®. Booth visitors will have a chance to meet and chat with their favorite artist and get autographs.
