Paint Scheme Grades-March 7, 2020

By David G. Firestone

Austin Dillon #3 Dow Killz Coatings Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Ross Chastain #6 Wyndham Rewards Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Tyler Reddick #8 I Am Second Chevy Camaro-This scheme has too many things going on at the same time. It’s just a jumbled mess that doesn’t look good at all. F

Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx Ground Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx Office Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Pennzoil Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

Ryan Blaney #12 Body Armor Kobe Tribute Ford Mustang-The snakeskin motif works very well here, and the color scheme works well too. This is a great look, and I give it an A.

Brennan Poole #15 CHOC Children’s Hospital Chevy Camaro-Getting tid of the stripes, and just having the child drawings would work better, but this isn’t bad, so I will give this an A-

Kyle Busch #18 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry-In addition to having a really bad shade of green, the lightning motif is very over done, and the car looks terrible. F

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Quaker State Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

Joey Logano #22 AAA Southern California Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

William Byron #24 Axalta Kobe Tribute Chevy Camaro-It’s a very toned down scheme, it’s smooth, and it has a great look. I can’t give this less than an A, so I won’t.

Kyle Larson #42 McDonald’s Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 Victory Junction Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A- grade.

Garrett Smithley #51 Chevy Camaro-A smooth look with a great color will always earn an A.

JJ Yeley #52 Ford Mustang-New scheme for 2020, black. A

BJ McLeod #52 Christensen Arms Ford Mustang-Not a bad look.  The carbon fiber motif works, and the red roof is a good look. A

Joey Gase #53 Nevada Donor Network Chevy Camaro-A smooth look with a great color will always earn an A.

Timmy Hill #66 Manscaped/Lasvegas.net Toyota Camry–My only complaint here is that the red stripe is pointless. Other than that, this is a great scheme. A-
