The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-November 14, 2015

We have a 2016 paint scheme…

Danica Patrick #10 TaxAct Chevy SS-This is a good look, I like the large X behind the door numbers, and the color scheme is really good too. A+

Casey Mears #13 Geico Chevy SS-Much improved design from 2015, much smoother and simpler look. I give it an A+.

Casey Mears #13 Geico Millitary Chevy SS-While I support the troops, I grade tribute schemes on the same scale as any other scheme. In this case, this does not look good. It’s the Geico design, but with a black and camo motif. It looks forced, and awkward. F

Now on to the 2015 schemes…

Austin Dillon #3 Dow Plastic Additives Chevy SS-I like the design here. The plastic particle design does look good, and combined with a great color scheme earns an A+.

Austin Dillon #3 Bad Boy Buggies Chevy SS– Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Danica Patrick #10 GoDaddy Tribute Chevy SS-It’s a decent tribute, but a tribute based on an F scheme.

Greg Biffle #16 Jardiance Ford Fusion-Yellow, white, and teal doesn’t work, and the design is over done. As a result, it earns an F.

JJ Yeley #23 Overture Toyota Camry-I HATE ORANGE AND BLUE! I will scream that from the mountains! The design might work if it were a fade, then I could give it a C, but the zigzag design is horrible, and I can’t give it better than an F.

Jeff Gordon #24 Axalta/Service King Chevy SS-Same as Axalta, same A+ grade.

Ryan Newman #31 CAT Command Chevy SS-This is one of the few designs that works perfectly. I love the look, it’s unique, and the circular design on the rear wheel is great. I give it an A+.

Kyle Fowler #32 Corvette Parts Pink Ford Fusion-Pinkwashing is an automatic F. Thank God October is over!

Joey Gase #32 Zak Ford Fusion-Great color and design schemes will always earn an A.+

Joey Gase #32 R Factor 2 Ford Fusion-Not even a great color scheme can save this over designed mess of a paint scheme from a passing grade. F

Brett Moffitt #34 Visit Dallas Ford Fusion-Great color and design schemes will always earn an A.

Cole Whitt #35 Moen Ford Fusion-One of the few schemes where it has a great color scheme and a great design scheme, but for some reason, they don’t work together. Still, I will give it a B+.

Landon Cassill #40 Fiberlock Chevy SS-Too many contrasting shades of green, the shamrock motif is awful, and the whole car is overdone. I can’t give this scheme anything but an F.

Landon Cassill #40 Chevy SS-The color scheme is good, but the side design is a bit overdone. I’ll give it a B+.

AJ Allmendinger #47 Fry’s Chevy SS-Same scheme as Kroger, same A+ grade.

Jimmie Johnson #48 Lowes Patriotic Chevy SS-A tad overdone, but a really good patriotic scheme. B+

Justin Allgaier #51 Texas Lottery Chevy SS-This was a bit of a bold attempt, and it worked quite well. I like the stripe design on the sides, it’s bold, and the color scheme works well too. I give it an A+

Michael McDowell #95 TWD Ford Fusion–The design is bit overdone, nothing really bad, and the color scheme works well too. I give it a B+.

Ryan Preece #98 Xyience Energy Ford Fusion-Green, silver, and orange don’t work as a color scheme, and the car is so over designed, it is just hideous. F

Ryan Preece #98 Vydrox Plus Ford Fusion-Same scheme as #62, same A grade.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-June 20, 2015

Alex Bowman #7 Racing Rewards Chevy SS-Decent color scheme, but the stripe design is over done. If the rough edges were smooth, I’d be able to give it a higher grade than a C+.

Ryan Blaney #21 Maryn Winters Motorcraft JDRF Ford Fusion-Designed by 8 year old Maryn Winters, who suffers from Type 1 Diabetes in a contest by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Maryn designed a really good looking car. A+

JJ Yeley #23 Heinz Toyota Camry-Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

JJ Yeley #23 Dr. Pepper Toyota Camry– Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

Chase Elliott #25 NAPA Fauxback Chevy SS-Taking a classic scheme and redesigning it for a different sponsor and a different car can work, it just doesn’t here. The color scheme is good, so I’ll give it a C-.

Jeb Burton #26 Maxim Fantasy Sports/Estes Toyota Camry– Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

Paul Menard #27 Moen/Menard’s Chevy SS– Black, blue, and yellow work quite well with the Menard’s template. A+

Mike Bliss #32 Rimrock Devlin/Corvette Parts Ford Fusion-Same as Corvette Parts, Same F grade.

Travis Kvapil #32 Victorypress.biz Ford Fusion-Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

Brett Moffit #34 CSX Veterans Ford Fusion-Same as CSX, same A+ grade.

Justin Allgaier #51 Switch Hitch Chevy SS-Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

Matt DiBenedetto #83 Dan Bilzerian Toyota Camry-Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. #88 Nationwide Patriotic Chevy SS-A good looking patriotic scheme. Smooth simple look with a great color scheme will earn an A+.

Josh Wise #98 Ford Fusion-Good smooth design with a great color scheme will always earn an A+.
