PPG-finished KMT 359 named Grand
Champion at Big Rig Build-off
KMT 359 was recently named Grand Champion in the 2010 Big Rig Build-off, part of the Paul K. Young Truck Beauty Championship at the annual Mid-America
Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY. The truck, a highly
customized 1984 Peterbilt 359 owned by Kevin McIntyre of
Port Charlotte, FL, was entered in the contest by Outlaw
Customs of Henderson, CO. It was the second year in a row
Outlaw Customs has won a major award at the event. Last
year, their entry took People’s Choice honors.
“We had the truck for a year and worked on it non-stop for
the last six months,” said Alex Gobel, founder and co-owner
of Outlaw Customs. “We wanted to create a sure winner. We
did a tremendous amount of work on the truck body, interi-
or and mechanicals, then came up with a paint scheme and
turned it over to Motorsports Concepts down the road for
the finish. We chose PPG’s Delfleet Evolution for the kind
of look we knew would draw attention to this rig.”
The team at Motorsports Concepts, led by owner Jarod
Swantkoski, body technician Barry Krans and painter Jeff
Carmin followed Gobel’s design using Delfleet F3975 and
F3993 primers, FBC 3CT 5851 White Diamond and 908346
Sunset Orange basecoats and F3906 clearcoat to give the
truck its lustrous award-winning finish.
PPG’s Delfleet Evolution line was used for the KMT 359’s winning look. Delfleet F3975 and F3993
primers, FBC 3CT 5851 White Diamond and 908346 Sunset Orange basecoats and F3906 clearcoat
were all applied in the process.
