By David G. Firestone

Daniel Suarez #7 UHP.com Chevy Camaro-A good look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Chris Buescher #17 Kroger/Kleenex Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Austin Hill #33 zone Sweet Coffee Chevy Camaro-I like the dark red, it works well with this scheme. A

Todd Gilliland #34 Nucar Ford Mustang-Good color scheme, and an awful design scheme will always earn a C.

Zane Smith #38 imagine360 Ford Mustang-Not a bad look, the circle motif can work when not over used, this gets an A.

Cody Ware #51 Schluter Systems Chevy Camaro-Metallic gold isn’t used enough, and this not over designed scheme works well as a result. Also, this is a major upgrade from last year. A

Carson Hocevar #77 Modo Casino Chevy Camaro-If this was just the fade, it would get an A. With the designs, it gets taken down to a C.

Connor Zilisch #88 SuperFile Camaro-There is no way I can defend a hideous mess like this. F

Shane van Gisbergen #97 SuperFile Chevy Camaro-See above. F

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.
