A variety of vehicles, including an Acura, a motorcycle, a heavy-duty truck and a dragster, are among the winners in the 12th annual DuPont Top Gun contest, now renamed the Hot Hues award contest.
The contest, which recognizes the best use of DuPont Automotive Finishes and Hot Hues Custom Finishes, attracted stunning examples of the art of custom painting. Hundreds of entries from the U. S., Canada and Mexico were judged by a panel of experts.
The 12 Grand Prize winners will receive $1,000 worth of Hot Hues Finishes and year-long fame on the re-designed 2005 Hot Hues Calendar. The vehicles also are featured in the Fall 2004 edition of DuPont Refinisher News.
Twenty-four First Prize winners receive $500 in Hot Hues Finishes, and their names are published on the 2005 Calendar and in Refinisher News.
