MATRIX SYSTEM(r) AUTOMOTIVE FINISHES 2006 SEMA DISPLAY TO FEATURE
BUSHTEC BIKE AND TRAILER PROJECT

 

Walled Lake, MI - February 22, 2006 - Matrix System Automotive Finishes
is teaming up with Bushtec Performance Sport Trailers for its SEMA 2006
exhibit.  The custom motorcycle and Bushtec cargo trailer will be
displayed in Matrix's booth for the 2006 show that will be held October
31-November 3.  The bike and trailer design will be created and applied
by Bushtec featuring Matrix System primers, sealers, basecoat and
clearcoat.

 

Bushtec's custom motorcycle and trailer will recapture the 1930s,
considered to be the prime of automotive design.  Combining old world
craftsmanship and new technology, the motorcycle will be powered by a
1600cc Yamaha Road Star motor cradled in a custom frame by Rolling
Thunder.  Amenities will include a DVD, MP3, and CD player, in addition
to Satellite Radio playing through an array of fairing mounted speakers,
with screens mounted in the fairing and the rider and passenger
backrests.  The trailer will begin as a Bushtec Roadstar and undergo
numerous modifications, including lengthening of the body, new style
fenders and taillights, a subwoofer enclosure and amplifier rack, in
addition to a large monitor and speakers residing under the lid,
creating a mobile theater experience.  The concept renderings for the
project are being done by Joe Iacono of Iacono Designs in Pleasanton,
California.  Matrix will work with Bushtec in designing the paint layout
and finish.  

 

In addition to appearing on the main floor of the SEMA Show in the Las
Vegas Convention Center, the bike and trailer will be displayed at the
International Powersports Dealer Expo and several motorcycle events in
2007.  Bushtec is looking for sponsors to contribute additional products
and services to the construction of the custom motorcycle and trailer.
Sponsors will be recognized with signage at SEMA 2006 and other events.
"We view this as an opportunity to showcase the talents and products of
Bushtec as well as those of manufacturers of unique and quality
products," said Andrew Preston, Chief Operating Officer at Bushtec
Manufacturing & Sales, Inc.  For more information on sponsorship, call
