Axalta Coating Systems is once again hosting its Paint Outside the Can contest in which technicians use their creativity to paint and decorate an empty paint can.
“Auto body paint repair requires many skills — problem solving, troubleshooting, critical thinking and time management,” said the company in a written release.
Six “Celebrity picks” chosen by Axalta’s celebrity judges will receive a number of prizes including a $250 gift card, a complimentary pass to the 2016 SEMA Show with access to Axalta’s VIP area and lunch.
Axalta’s celebrity judges are:
• Ron Coan, one of the leading painters in the automotive industry known for his show-stopping creations with Mobsteelat SEMA and his groundbreaking OEM concept cars;
• Rachel De Barros, chief marketing officer, host and executive producer of Gearhead Diva, a DIY car-building community and network that produces edutainment style videos for today’s social media generation;
• Ray Evernham, three-time NASCAR® champion crew chief and host of Velocity’s hit series AmeriCarna;
• Danny “Danny D” Galvez, a well-known custom automotive painter and pinstriper;
• Dave Lane, one of the top traditional-style car builders in the United States; and
• Paul Quinn, a respected airbrush and pinstriping artist and custom paint instructor.
Six “Fan favourites” chosen based on the number of “likes” the photos receive on Axalta’s Instagram page will be awarded the same prize.
There will also be one “Best-in-show” grand prize winner selected from the celebrity picks, who will receive a $500 gift card, hotel accommodations for two in Las Vegas, Nev. through Nov. 1-5, 2016, and two complimentary passes to the 2016 SEMA Show, among other prizes.
Winners will have their submissions displayed at custom car shows and automotive events throughout the U.S., including at the 2016 SEMA Show.
