BIG. If we had to use one word to describe our SEMA 2011 experience it will simply be BIG. The Las Vegas Convention center provided an expansive venue that takes days to walk through. And like every SEMA show in the past, the place was packed with exhibitors and attendees. As expected the show was a big success for us. We made a big impression with our modest booth. There was constant activity. Atendees waited in line to get our airbrushes and paint in their hands and test them for themselves. They all were able to personally confirm the performance and quality of our products. Artists' Jody Barrilleaux and Sean Treves painted live in our booth to demonstrate the use of our products and people gathered around them to watch them create some amazing works of art. It was a place within the show where beginners and pros alike interacted with us and amongnst themselves to explore anything and everything related to airbrushes, cars and bikes. It was a big deal.

The Banner

In preparation for the show, Jody was challenged to paint an 8 foot tall by 20 foot wide banner that would be displayed as a backdrop in our booth. We asked Jody to create an attractive piece that showcased our products and expressed a Hot Rod theme since our booth was located in Hot Rod Alley. From the pictures of the banner, its obvious that he delivered nothing short of extrodinary. The mural turned heads and had people stopping throughout the show. Whats even more amazing is the amount of detail he was able to capture. Once you step closer and see the subtle details, you'll get to appreciate it on a whole new level.
