If you love cars and country music, this event is for you. Each day’s events will feature a car show complete with vendors, exhibits, food and beverages. In addition, admittance is free to the general public. Every night will end with a ticketed concert featuring the legends of country music including Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin, Collin Raye, Restless Heart, Terri Clark, Pam Tillis, James Otto and John Michael Montgomery.
Axalta representatives will be on hand to offer show attendees amazing examples of automotive art created with our brilliant paints including all of our global refinish brands: Cromax®, Nason®, Standox® and Spies Hecker®, as well as our Hot Hues™ line of custom colors.
Axalta will also feature its 2016 Paint Outside the Can Contest. The contest is an invitation to automotive painters from across the United States and Canada to unleash their creativity using any Axalta-branded coating system to paint and decorate an unused, standard one-gallon paint can.
Submissions will be recognized and displayed via select social media channels throughout the contest. After the contest closes on September 15, 2016, 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.”
