Paint Scheme Grades-January 6, 2024

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Moose Fraternity Chevy Camaro-I like the new red roof, so this gets an A.

Kyle Larson #5 Hendrickcars.com Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kyle Larson #5 Valvoline Chevy Camaro-Major downgrade from last year. Car is a bit too over designed, but does have a good color scheme. B

Brad Keselowski #6 Fastenal Body Guard Ford Mustang-The green and black work well, and the design scheme looks great, so this gets an A.

Chase Elliott #9 NAPA Chevy Camaro-I love the new all-blue look, it’s much better than it would be with the white! A

Chase Elliott #9 Kelly Blue Book Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Chase Elliott #9 LLumar Window Film Chevy Camaro-The color and design scheme are perfect, so I give this an A.

Chase Elliott #9 UniFirst Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Chris Buescher #17 Fastenal Ford Mustang-I’m not always the biggest fan of template schemes. That said, this is a great one, and the blue works well. A

William Byron #24 Liberty University Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

William Byron #24 Axalta Chevy Camaro-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

William Byron #24 RAPTOR Chevy Camaro-The fade and color scheme work, the black designs are just horrid, so this gets a C.

William Byron #24 Valvoline Chevy Camaro-The lack of white as a primary color doesn’t work, and the designs just look off as a result. I do like the color scheme, so this gets a D

Erik Jones #43 Advent Health Toyota Camry-Not only is this a good design with a good color scheme, it’s leaps and bounds over the previous scheme. A

Alex Bowman #48 Ally Financial Chevy Camaro-To call this car over designed is an understatement. Add in a bad color scheme, and you have an F scheme.

David Ragan #60 BuildSubmarines.com Ford Mustang-These new changes don’t really change much, so same A- grade.

Zane Smith #71 WeatherTech Chevy Camaro-Both color and design scheme work well, so this gets an A.

Carson Hocevar #77 Zeigler Auto Group Chevy Camaro-No real change in the grade, even with the new designs. C

The Final Paint Scheme Grades of 2023

By David G. Firestone

J.J. Yeley #15 Patriot Mobile Ford Mustang-No real issues here, good design with a great color scheme. A

Christopher Bell #20 DeWalt/Rheem Toyota Camry-This is a downgrade, there are two different color and design schemes, and it looks forced and awkward. It’s not bad, nor is it good, so this gets a C.

Bubba Wallace #23 Columbia Sportswear Company/Star Wars X-wing Toyota Camry-If you didn’t know this design was based on an X-wing, you would have no idea what this design is. It’s odd, and while it isn’t bad, this gets a C, for confusion.

William Byron #24 Axalta Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Erik Jones #43 Allegiant Allways Rewards Chevy Camaro-White and orange is odd to begin with, the blue numbers don’t help, and the design looks bad with the color scheme, so this gets an F.

Tyler Reddick #45 Toyota/Star Wars TIE Fighter Toyota Camry-The TIE Fighter, in addition to being ridiculously impractically designed, what with the solar cells on the sides restricting vision for the pilot, is also not well represented here. The black on the front and back looks out of place, and, like the X-wing scheme, if you didn’t know this design was based on an X-wing, you would have no idea what this design is. F

Rickey Stenhouse Jr. #47 Fry’s/Cheez-It Chevy Camaro-A solid red car with a good set of yellow designs will always earn an A.

Ryan Newman #51 Serial 1 E-Bikes Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #38, same A grade.

B.J. McLeod #78 Pala Casino Resort and Spa Chevy Camaro-A good design scheme with a horrible color scheme will always earn a C.
