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
