AkzoNobel delivered excitement at the 2025 SEMA Show, showcasing some great products, displays and custom vehicle builds. Inside, at the Upper Level of the South Hall of Las Vegas Convention Center, the AkzoNobel display was dominated by Ballistic, a custom-built coupe based on a 2008 Infiniti G37 by Miller & Son Collision, an AkzoNobel customer.

The car is sprayed in a custom Sikkens finish that changes colour, from red to orange depending on the light. AkzoNobel also demonstrated its CarBeat show workflow solution, as well as a special glass History display, that contained artifacts related to the brand going back decades including tools and materials. Also being shown was the new Sikkens Autowave Optima, a one-stop waterborne coating application that’s designed to halve processing times and doesn’t require flash-off between layers.

Outside the convention centre, on the Silver Lot, AkzoNobel teamed up with Kindig-it Design, showcasing additional colours on three of the shop’s custom vehicle creations, Sikkens on a 1969 custom Chevy Camaro, with Modern Classikk featured on a custom 1957 Oldsmobile and one of Kindig-it’s CF1 series custom coupes. Dave Kindig and Kevin “KevDogg” Schiele were also present during the week to meet fans and sign autographs.
