The Goodguys 13th Annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion will be held at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa on July 3-5. Axalta Coating Systems has announced its support for this show, as well as eleven other custom car shows across the country this year. Axalta representatives will be "cruisin’ into Des Moines" with a 1932 Ford Coupe, built by Dave Lane for Phil Becker and painted with Axalta’s Cromax brand paint.
Organizers said of the event: "If you love cars, this nationally recognized event is for you. This is one of the top five Goodguys’ events of the year...the big red, white and blue holiday weekend features more than 4,000 1972 and earlier hot rods, customs, muscle cars, trucks and classics that will be on display and showin’ off! Builders and enthusiasts will gather beachside to network, develop ideas and answer the all-important question, “What color should I paint my new project car?”
Representatives will also be on hand to offer show attendees amazing examples of automotive art that is created with our brilliant paint including our global refinish brands: Cromax, Standox and Spies Hecker, as well as our Hot Hues line of custom colors.
Axalta will also be promoting its recently announced 2015 Paint Outside the Can contest. The contest is an invitation to unleash creativity using any Axalta-branded coating system to paint and decorate an unused, standard one-gallon paint can. Auto body paint repair requires many skills – problem solving, troubleshooting, critical thinking and time management, to name a few. Axalta organized the contest to give its body shop customers an opportunity to use these skills in a fun, creative way and support their inner artists.
Submissions will be recognized and displayed via certain social media channels throughout the contest. At the end of the contest, which closes September 15, 2015, six “Celebrity Picks” will be selected by industry celebrities who will vote for their favorites based on creativity, execution and degree of difficulty. In addition, six “Fan Favorites” will be chosen by fans based on the number of photo “likes” that these favorites received on Axalta’s Instagram page. Finally, one “Best-in-Show” grand prize winner will be selected from the six “Celebrity Picks”. To learn more, visit the contest website.
