“The calendar provides a rare glimpse into the remarkable and high-end automotive paintwork being done across the automotive industry,” said Tony D’Acquisto, global vice president of marketing for the Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Division. “From ground-up restorations to turbocharged race cars and muscle cars to minivans, it is a unique opportunity to capture and showcase the work of collision repair visionaries who have mastered the art of custom painting.”

The calendar features 12 vehicles with custom paintwork including airbrushing, flames and specialty finishes. Past calendars have showcased restored classics, race cars and modified vehicles.

“Being featured in the Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes calendar is a tremendous honor,” said Javier “Shorty” Ponce, owner of Shorty’s Custom Paint. “Partnering with a brand that shares our passion for excellence elevates our work and connects us with a community that values craftsmanship. It’s not just about the paint – it’s about the pride in every project.”

The submission deadline is Sept. 12. Winners will be announced in early October and will receive printed calendars and social media promotion.
