Attendees were happy to pick up a Craig Fraser custom<br />
painted Rock Band guitar and jam to their favorite<br />
hits like Survivor’s “Eye <strong>of</strong> the Tiger” and The Go-Go’s<br />
“We Got the Beat.” While waiting for their turn to get<br />
a scarab tattoo, attendees enjoyed our three customer<br />
appreciation chairs, complete with Osim iSqeez calf and<br />
foot massagers. Anyone who has ever attended a SEMA<br />
show and walked the entire floor can appreciate how<br />
valuable a foot massage can be.<br />
<strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kolor</strong>’s airbrushing demo<br />
stand proved once again to be a hot spot <strong>of</strong><br />
the Central Hall <strong>of</strong> the Las Vegas convention<br />
center, where panels were painted live by<br />
celebrity artists, who were also on hand to sign<br />
autographs and answer questions. This year’s<br />
list <strong>of</strong> celebrity airbrush artists included Deborah<br />
Mahan, Craig Fraser, Mike Lavallee, Steve<br />
Driscoll, Brian Horstmann, Lynette Ozlowski,<br />
and Jason Powers. Live <strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kolor</strong> product demonstrations are always a huge draw.<br />
The <strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kolor</strong> wall <strong>of</strong> color, which was first introduced at the SEMA show in<br />
2007, was given a major facelift this year to draw even more attention to it. This year’s wall<br />
featured shelving units lined with LED lights that lit each color shape up and drew attendees to<br />
it like mosquitoes to a bug zapper. Finally, everyone could see their favorite<br />
<strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kolor</strong> colors clearly and could choose the right combination for their<br />
next project.<br />
SEMA attendees were also introduced to the new version <strong>of</strong> our<br />
highly successful Digital Paint Booth s<strong>of</strong>tware, which allows you to design your<br />
ultimate paint scheme before you begin to paint your vehicle. Carter Hickman,<br />
designer <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware, was on hand to demonstrate the s<strong>of</strong>tware and to answer<br />
any questions from curious customers. With over 250 vehicles to choose from<br />
and new graphics and functionality, the new version <strong>of</strong> the Digital Paint Booth<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware is sure to grow in popularity.<br />
Another new tool for planning a project introduced at this year’s SEMA<br />
show was our Digital Counter Pro s<strong>of</strong>tware. From this s<strong>of</strong>tware, users can browse<br />
through images <strong>of</strong> every digital color shape and print a clean photograph with<br />
product name and code included. The s<strong>of</strong>tware also includes training lessons, pr<strong>of</strong>it estimators,<br />
technical data sheets and MSDS information, electronic quote forms, product catalogs and<br />
marketing items, a video library including mixing and application videos, and much more.<br />
The Digital Counter Pro s<strong>of</strong>tware was a huge hit at the SEMA show, and promises to be an<br />
extraordinary asset to any Jobber store when it is released in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2009.<br />
This year’s SEMA show was an astounding success for <strong>House</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kolor</strong>, and the<br />
response to our booth was monumental.<br />
" I've been a car guy since<br />
birth and attending SEMA was<br />
definitely one <strong>of</strong> the things on<br />
my "bucket list". My TATTOO is<br />
healing nicely and is awesome."<br />
& "We went through the entire<br />
show and the HOK booth was<br />
definitely the best <strong>of</strong> all..."<br />
