SEMA show isn't really an invite only, but it is restricted registration to automotive industry businesses. So, as a paint/body business you qualify!

Go here to get the particulars and register if you wish; http://www.semashow.com/main/main.as...OWcom/HomePage
When you check in the first time they'll want to see some proof that you are legit to the business you name; e.g. business card with a name that matches your photo ID, business letterhead, or such. Once you demonstrate that, you become a "legacy" participant as long as you register each year. At this late date you may want to contact them by phone to see if your pass will be mailed in time, or if you should have it at the will call window when you get there.

Ken, we'll have to see if there is any interest, if so I'll let you know as early as I'm able so you can plan accordingly.
