The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-June 4, 2016

 

By David G. Firestone

Austin Dillon #3 Dow/StemAmbasadors Chevy SS-Same scheme as Dow, same B+ grade.

Danica Patrick #10 Nature’s Bakery/Fox Sports Go Chevy SS-New scheme for 2016, same as Nature’s Bakery, but with Fox Sports Go on quarter panels. A+

Joey Logano #22 Shell Throwback Chevy SS-I didn’t really like this scheme the first time around, and the lack of accuracy in terms of the Pennzoil logos takes it from a B+ down to a B-

David Ragan #23 Weaver Media Toyota Camry– While I do like the color scheme and paper motif, I think they overdid the paper motif. I’m willing to give it a B+, since it is a decent scheme.

Ryan Newman #31 Kalahari Resorts Chevy SS-The color scheme is good, but the design scheme is horrid. The background color is good, but the stripes up the sides are awful, and the needless addition of red on the stripes doesn’t do the scheme a lot of favors. The good and the bad average out to give this scheme a C-.

Jeb Burton #32 Rocky Ridge Custom Trucks Ford Fusion-Not the best scheme I’ve seen, but the new mountain design is a much needed improvement on the old design. I give it a B+

Jeffery Earnhardt #32 Can Am Ford Fusion-This is a much needed improvement over the old scheme. It looks great, and looks amazing. It has great color and designs schemes, and has earned an A+.

Brian Scott #44 Medallion Bank Ford Fusion-One of the worst schemes from last year is now one of the best schemes this year. I like the shade of yellow they used, and the checkered flag pattern looks really good too. I give it an A+

AJ Allmendinger #47 Bush’s Grilling Beans Chevy SS-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Ty Dillon #95 BVT/Blake’s Snow Shack Chevy SS-The white stripes don’t look good, and the Blake’s logo contrasts with the design, and looks forced on. Still, it’s not that bad of a scheme, so I’ll give it a B+.

Cole Whitt #98 Carolina Skiff/Fun Chaser Chevy SS-No complaints about this one! Great color and design schemes will always earn an A+.

Alex Bowman #7 Accell Construction Chevy SS-Same scheme as last year, same C- grade.

Sam Hornish Jr. #9 Lyons Financial Ford Fusion-Same scheme as Medallion Financial, same F grade.

Clint Bowyer #15 Maxwell House Toyota Camry-When I heard that Maxwell House was sponsoring a car this season, I hoped it would look like this, but it doesn’t.  It’s still a good design with a good color scheme and a great design scheme so it earns an A.

Greg Biffle #16 Safety Kleen Ford Fusion– Yellow, green, black, and white is awful, and the design is just horrid. It looks awful, so it gets an F.

Carl Edwards #19 Stanley/Cook’s Children’s Hospital Toyota Camry-Same scheme as Stanley same B+ Grade.

Jeb Burton #26 Maxim Red Toyota Camry-Good design and a great color scheme, but the Dr. Pepper number border takes it from an A+ to an A-

Mike Bliss #32 Texas Tech Ford Fusion-I love a good fade, and the red to black fade here is very good. The only complaint that I have is that the Texas Tech logo is a bit too big, but it’s a minor complaint. It earns an A.

Cole Whitt #35 Standard Plumbing Toyota Camry-Good simple design and a good color scheme always earns an A+

Landon Cassill #40 CRC Knock’er Loose Chevy SS– Terrible color scheme and a horrible, and over designed scheme will always earn an F.

Kyle Larson #42 Axe White Chevy SS– I’m not always a fan of white race cars, but this design works very well, and has a great color scheme. A

Michael Annett #46 Northland Oil Chevy SS-A decent color scheme keeps this horrific design from and F, but just barely. It earns a D-

Justin Allgaier #51 Flipping Ships Chevy SS-The blue fade from top to bottom works well, and the general color scheme works well, but I don’t like those waves under the B+

Michael McDowell #95 Thrivent Financial Silver Ford Fusion– The removal of the logo behind the door number, and the addition of silver looks really good, and earns an A.
