The event that lured us to Vegas was the SEMA Show, which is the world's premier automotive aftermarket specialty products trade-only event. This means huge buildings full of vendors and buyers from all over the world. And, the bigtime vendors spare no expense in their displays which are often custom-built and beautifully-painted cars showcasing their products.
Some displays just used car parts, but had other purposes:
And, others were intricate art pieces
The airbrush company's booth was very hands-on. They walked you through the features of the gun and let you scribble on the art pad to practice your technique or test the gun's abilities.
This fellow doesn't need any more practice! It is so incredible what you can do with pressurized paint when you've got the skills and patience of an artist.
The SEMA show was a 4-day event. We walked miles and miles through the booths, met potential customers and potential suppliers, took advantage of some deals, and started planning how we would set up our own booth at the 2013 show. It worked really well to experience it all from the spectator side before jumping into this as vendors. With all the exposure there, we've got to have our A game ready!
