The coloring contest is a part of the CAR MBS Family Connection, which allows guests of conference attendees to explore the area and connect with fellow attendee families. Children, ages five and above, can pick up Axalta coloring sheets at the start of the contest. Entrants will color an Axalta concept race car developed by noted transportation and industrial designer Brook Banham from Detroit.

“Axalta brings this contest to CAR MBS to get the automotive industry’s next generation started on the art and science behind color,” said David Fischer, Axalta Vice President for Market Strategy and Growth. “With the prizes coming from a remarkable candy store, this is a ‘sweet’ way to get kids thinking about color in new ways.”

Kids are encouraged to work Axalta’s Automotive Color of the Year 2017-Gallant Gray into their designs.
