Paint Scheme Grades-February 27, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Austin Dillon #3 Dow Mobility Science Chevy Camaro-I like the smoother, sharper look this year’s car has, it’s a great scheme, and it gets an A.

Corey LaJoie #7 Netflix’s “The Crew” Chevy Camaro-I hate ugly, over designed messes, and this is as much of an ugly, over designed mess as any. F

Tyler Reddick #8 Cat Rental Store Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Chase Elliott #9 UniFirst Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of the dark green, and cleaning up the sides took a B- scheme to an A scheme.

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

Chase Briscoe #14 Ford Performance Racing School Ford Mustang-The removal of the black circle cleans up the car a lot, and the car looks great as such. A

William Bryon #24 Axalta Electrolight Color Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the white is pointless, and the car would look better without it. A

Ryan Preece #37 Kroger/Coca-Cola Chevy Camaro-One thing I hate is when a car has two different designs on the front and rear. This is an example. Either of these designs would work by themselves, but together they are awful. F

Anthony Alfredo #38 The Pete Store Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Ross Chastain #42 McDonald’s Chevy Camaro-This is a great scheme! It’s smooth, perfectly designed, and is an amazing look. A

Erik Jones #43 Petty’s Garage Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the white sections should be blue, with white lettering, which would be a much better look, still, this isn’t bad, so I’ll give this an A-.

Erik Jones #43 Tide Chevy Camaro-Get rid of the blue, and the dots, and this scheme would get an A, but with the dots, and the blue, this gets a B

Josh Bilicki #52 Jacob Companies Ford Mustang-Same scheme as 2019 #51 design, same B grade.

Garrett Smithley #53 Clix Wipers Chevy Camaro-I hate ugly, over designed messes, and this is as much of an ugly, over designed mess as any. F

Justin Haley #77 AirMedCare Network Chevy Camaro-I like the color scheme, but I hate the design scheme, so this gets a C

BJ McLeod #78 Diecast Kings Ford Mustang-It’s a smooth look, with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Scott Heckert #78 Motorsport Games Ford Mustang-I hate ugly, over designed messes, and this is as much of an ugly, over designed mess as any. F

Ty Dillon #96 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
