The 1 Shot Presents Krazy Paint team of artists and workers hit the 2023 Summit Racing IX Center Piston Powered Auto-Rama and the result was $55,082 for The Career and Technical School Foundation. The final tally was about $5k more than 2022 and everyone involved had a great time.
The Auto-Rama is already scheduled for April 5-7 for 2024, so c’mon by and help some kids get grants and scholarships for trade and vocational schools.
1 Shot presents Krazy Paint came back from being knocked down by COVID in 2020 with our biggest and bestest show ever! Even better, both the Summit Auto Racing IX Center Piston Powered Auto-Rama and KP broke their own records.
Over 60,000 people attended the Piston Powered Auto-Rama, again breaking attendance records. Close to 70 artists packed the KP booth and created artwork that broke another record with over $50,000 collected for the Career and Technical School Foundation.
Along with the usual Krazy times at America’s favorite Charity Panel Jam, we welcomed back our family of artists and the infamous KP Krewmembers who made it all happen. We also passed out more awards to artists than any other Jam.
Keep the dates for 1 Shot presents Krazy Paint in 2023 open. They are March 31 and April 1/2, 2023! You gonna be there?
Our 70 plus All Stars kept the streak going with yet another increase this year. When the dust settled, the total was $47,612.00 going to the Career and Technical School Foundation. Great job guys and gals. And we thank our corporate partners for making it all happen.

Krazy Paint’s goal is to create a World Class Charity Panel Jam – pure and simple. To continue to live that philosophy, we are very happy to announce we have been graced with some of the big names in pinstriping who have expressed an interest in helping KP reach our goals. Working with these folks as well as other shows will help all of us in the many things we work for in our Jams.
The first new Krazy Paint Konsultant is none other than Sir Jack Lindenberger. Known for his tremendous talents and helping folks industry-wide, Sir Jack brings his valuable experience in both painting and Panel Jams to KP.
Our second Krazy Paint Konsultant is none other than East Coast Artie Schilling. Artie is another one of those talented painters that is at home on signs as well as lines. Along with his tremendous painting talent, Artie is also known for his very famous Artie’s Party in Syracuse, NY, one of the top Charity Panel Jams in the country! Truth be told, Artie has been helping Krazy Paint for years, and we thank him for that.
Our latest Krazy Paint Konsultant is Von Dago. From almost 50 years behind the brush to designing brushes, the ‘Dago has done it all. There’s not much he can’t do with his brushes and he’s not afraid to share that extensive knowledge. He has thrown in with us and will be at the 2017 show to sling paint and make the show better for everyone.
We thank Sir Jack, East Coast Artie and Von Dago for signing up with us and helping better Panel Jams everywhere. Regardless of what Jams you attend, we are all in this together to raise the awareness of our unique art.
The IX-Center and Krazy Paint launched this kontest for the 2015 show where the basic idea was for Krazy Paint artists to design the logos for the show. The second annual Piston Power Auto-Rama Logo Kontest is history and first place goes to Sir Jack Lindenberger!
But wait, there’s more!
Sir Jack also nabbed second place! WOW! Third place when to our own Fat Daddy and Honorable Mention went to Alex Hamilton with his two entries.
Jack’s winning design will be on all the show’s official Tee Shirts. How Kool is that? Plus, the top three entries won cash prizes, too!
Along with the winning design appearing on the show’s T-shirts for all to see, a portion of those sales will be donated to our charity, The Career and Technical School Foundation.
But wait, there’s more!
The winning entries will be auctioned off and that money will also go to our charity. What a great way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Cleveland Auto-Rama! Krazy Paint is honored to work with such kool artists! Thanks, guys!
We put the Charity Panel Jam World on notice with these babies!
Your fave Charity Panel Jam originated two brand new and exclusive awards for our painters. These two awards can only be found at Krazy Paint and they’ll both be presented at Summit Racing I-X Center’s Piston Powered Auto-Rama in Cleveland, Ohio, March 16-18, 2018.
The Mack Brush Boss Award goes to the painter that sells the most pieces of art at Krazy Paint. The winner gets a Kool, Kustom-made Mack Brush Boss trophy and a Gift Certificate good for $150 of Mack Brush products.
The 1 Shot Hot Shot Award goes to the painter who’s one, single piece brings in the most money at Krazy Paint. That winner gets a Kool, Kustom-made 1 Shot Hot Shot trophy and $250 of 1 Shot Paint.
Krazy Paint is proud to announce both 1 Shot and Mack Brush have returned to recognize two great painters for their talent and hard work. Check out the rules and have a blast!
Winners:

2016 – Maggie Marquardt and Alex Hamilton
2015 – Tim McComas and Lynn Hagstom

We’re the Panel Jam that rewards artists the most! And there’s more to come with three new awards for 2018!
