Paint Scheme Grades-February 26, 2022

By David G. Firestone

Corey LaJoie #7 Built Bar Chevy Camaro-This is a great scheme for 2022, it’s smooth, and it has a great color scheme. A

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

Daniel Hemric #16 Hermitage Pool Supply Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the light blue isn’t really needed here. Other than that, this works very well, it isn’t over designed, and it looks great. A-

Bubba Wallace #23 McDonald’s Toyota Camry-I think with McDonald’s schemes, less is more. Just a plain red would work. This isn’t really awful though. Its over designed, but not horribly. I’ll give this a B.

Justin Haley #31 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Todd Gilliland #38 Ruedbusch Development and Construction Ford Mustang-Switching the blue and silver would help a lot, and the side designs aren’t needed. It’s not terrible, so I’ll give it a B+

Greg Biffle #44 Grambling State University Chevy Camaro-Normally, I would hate the sublimated stripes, but these are so subtle, they can’t really be seen. Add in a great look, with a great color scheme, and you have an A grade.

Landon Cassill #77 Fox Nation Chevy Camaro-Toning down the stripes gives the car a smoother look. A

Paint Scheme Grades-February 12, 2022

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Howler Head Bourbon Chevy Camaro-A great color scheme paired with an awful design scheme with too much going on will get a C.

Austin Cindric #2 Freightliner/eCascadia Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Brad Keselowski #6 Kohler Generators Ford Mustang-This is a really good look, and I like the color scheme, so this gets an A.

Brad Keselowski #6 Violet Defense Ford Mustang-The yellow really doesn’t work here, and the silver is pointless. The car is somewhat over designed. I do like the blue and black, so I’ll give this a C-

Corey LaJoie #7 Nations Guard Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Tyler Reddick #8 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Aric Almirola #10 Farmer John Ford Mustang-It’s amazing how removing some designs can help a grade. This went from a C to a B because of clean designs.

David Ragan #15 Select Blinds Ford Mustang-This is horrid! It’s too over designed, and the color group as a whole doesn’t work with each other. F

AJ Allmendinger #16 ChevyLiners.com Chevy Camaro-It’s a bold look, with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Christopher Bell #20 Sirius/XM Toyota Camry-This was a great color scheme last year, but with the new designs added, it looks more cluttered, so it gets taken down to a C.

Joey Logano #22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Mustang-Yes! Yes! A thousand times Yes! This is a great look! I love this! After years of the Penske template forced down our throats, we are free! This looks amazing! A

Bubba Wallace #23 DoorDash Toyota Camry-Adding these new designs isn’t terrible, but a downgrade from last year. I do like this, but a downgrade is a downgrade. B+

Michael McDowell #34 Love’s Truck Stops Ford Mustang-It’s still a good scheme, but the new rainbows take away from it. A-

Todd Gilliland #38 First Phase Card Ford Mustang-A smooth look and a great color scheme will ALWAYS earn an A.

Ty Dillon #42 Black Rifle Coffee Chevy Camaro-I think the black designs are somewhat overdone, but it’s a decent scheme, so it gets a B+

Kaz Grala #50 The Money Team/Pit Viper Chevy Camaro-The fade and paint splatter would work by themselves, but together, the car has a cluttered look. I’ll give this a B-

J.J. Yeley #55 Malco Enterprises/Hex.com Ford Mustang-I think that the designs are a bit over done, but it works. A-

Josh Bilicki #77 Pacific Coast Termite Chevy Camaro-It’s a good look, it isn’t over designed, and it has a great color scheme. A

Landon Cassill #77 Voyager Chevy Camaro-I think the stripes are over done, but the car does has a good look, so it gets a B.

B.J. McLeod #78 SkyView Partners Ford Mustang-The green really isn’t needed, nor is the white. It’s too over designed. F

Daniel Suarez #99 Freeway Insurance Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Paint Scheme Grades-February 5, 2022

By David G. Firestone

Kevin Harvick #4 Mobil 1 Ford Mustang-It’s a good look, it isn’t over designed, and it has a great color scheme. A

Tyler Reddick #8 Guaranteed Rate Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of the green was a good move, the car looks bolder, and the design looks great. A

Chase Elliott #9 Hooters Chevy Camaro-While I personally loved the black scheme, this is also a great scheme, well designed, and the color scheme is great. A

Ryan Blaney #12 Wurth Ford Mustang– didn’t think I could like the Wurth scheme more, but here we are. This toned down scheme works well, and has a great color scheme. A

Noah Gragson #16 Cure Token Chevy Camaro-I like the shade of yellow here, but the white stripes are way too over designed. It’s not bad, but without the stripes, this would get an A. With the stripes, this gets a B.

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Martin Truex Jr. #19 Auto Owner’s Insurance Toyota Camry-I like the new pattern, it works well. The color scheme is great too, so this gets an A.

William Byron #24 Valvoline Chevy Camaro-Toning down the old Valvoline scheme works well, and the less is more design works well. A

Jacques Villeneuve #27 Team Hezeberg Ford Mustang-I don’t like the gray here, even though I would normally like the shade of gray, it just doesn’t work. The orange and number circle work well, so all things considered, this gets a B.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Food 4 Less/Slim Jim Chevy Camaro-The new design really doesn’t add or detract from the previous scheme, so I’ll give this an A.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger/Irish Spring Body Wash Chevy Camaro-The light and dark green really clash with each other, as does the blue and dark green. The car itself isn’t over designed, so I’ll give this a C.

Cody Ware #51 Nurtec ODT Chevy Camaro-It’s a good look, with a great color scheme, and this will always get an A.

Cody Ware #51 Nurtec ODT Chevy Camaro-It’s a good look, with a great color scheme, and this will always get an A.

Noah Gragson #62 Beard Oil Chevy Camaro-This is a big downgrade. The new scheme is much too over designed, with needless stripes, and a needless sublimated design. The good color scheme and bad design scheme cancel each other out, and this gets a C.
