The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-May 1, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Quin Houff #00 Permatex Chevy Camaro-New look, same grade. Switching the orange and blue really doesn’t make the scheme better or worse, so it gets the same A- it got last year.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Dog Brew Ford Mustang-I like the color scheme, and the forest and dog motif works well. A

Ryan Newman #6 Castrol Ford Mustang-It’s an improvement, but it still is over designed, just not as much. C

Corey LaJoie #7 Fox Nation Chevy Camaro-I like a good American flag motif, and this works very well, and I have no complaints. A

Tyler Reddick #8 Roland Chevy Camaro-It’s very rare I can’t decide which scheme I hate more, last year’s scheme or this year’s. This year’s scheme might be the worse of the two, either way, it gets an F.

Denny Hamlin #11 SportClips Throwback Toyota Camry-It’s a nice throwback, very faithful and it looks great. A

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Sylvania Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kaz Grala #16 Hyperice Chevrolet Chevy Camaro-I think the silver is pointless, and it’s visually distracting. It takes an A- scheme down to a B+.

Chris Buescher #17 AutoTempest Ford Mustang-I like the great color scheme, but I think the car is over designed. All things considered, this gets a C.

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s 80s Anniversary Toyota Camry-I like this scheme a lot more, as it’s smoother, and I really like the plain black numbers. A

Ryan Preece #37 Kroger/Reese’s Chevy Camaro-This template sucks even when color coordinated. With the Reese’s clashing, this goes from a C to a D-

Ross Chastain #42 Caregility/Yorktel Chevy Camaro-Get rid of the stripes, and this is an A scheme. With the stripes, This gets a B+

Erik Jones #43 Tuskegee Airmen Tribute Chevy Camaro-This is an amazing scheme! It has a great look, and color scheme, so it gets an A.

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. #47 NOS Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Alex Bowman #48 Ally Financial Throwback Chevy Camaro-I like the look, and it’s a great throwback. A

Matt Mills #55 Siebert Electric Ford Mustang-I like the look, and color scheme, and it gets an A.

Justin Haley #77 Fraternal Order of Eagles Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

BJ McLeod #78 Long-Lewis Ford Ford Mustang-This reminds me of the #21 Motorcraft Mustang, and that’s a good thing! This is a great scheme, and it gets an A.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-April 24, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Kurt Busch #1 Tubi TV Chevy Camaro-That black Monster energy logo takes away from the entire scheme, taking it from a C to a D. It’s awful, and is pointless.

Austin Dillon #3 Andy’s Frozen Custard Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the yellow side panels are pointless, other than that, this is a solid scheme. A-

Austin Dillon #3 Team Chevrolet Chevy Camaro-I think this is somewhat over designed, and I think that the scheme could be toned down. The color scheme is good, and all things considered, this isn’t bad. C

Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Mayer Bacon Ford Mustang-Could someone explain to me why there is a mustard motif on a bacon-themed car? Why? It makes no sense, and is just confusing. Still, it’s not bad, so I’ll give it a B.

Tyler Reddick #8 Cat #WhatPowersYou Chevy Camaro-This could be a better scheme, but there is much to much going on. It’s clunky and confusing, with three different motifs. They would work better alone, but together, this gets a C

Chase Briscoe #14 Global Mustang Week Ford Mustang-I was kind of hoping this would be painted like a vintage Mustang, but this is still an awesome scheme, and it isn’t over designed. A

Jennifer Jo Cobb #15 Arrowhead Brass Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of the side designs would boost this to an A for sure. With the side designs, this gets a C.

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s Red Nose Day Toyota Camry-Same scheme as 2019, same A grade.

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menard’s/Libman Ford Mustang-Same scheme #12, same B grade.

Bubba Wallace #23 Root Insurance Toyota Camry-The red over black is so much better than black over red. This took a great scheme, and made it even better. A

Ryan Preece #37 Maxwell House Chevy Camaro-This scheme is not great, but compared to the camouflage nightmare that was last years, Maxwell House scheme, this is great. All things considered, this gets a C.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger/Nature Valley Chevy Camaro-This template sucks even when color coordinated. With the Nature Valley clashing, this goes from a C to a D-

Josh Bilicki #52 Insurance King Throwback Ford Mustang-A unique and very faithful throwback will ALWAYS earn an A.

Harrison Burton #96 Dex Imaging Toyota Camry-It’s a great color scheme, mixed with an awful design scheme, which will always earn a C.

By David G. Firestone

Ryan Newman #6 ITsavvy Ford Mustang-I like the color scheme here, and the design scheme works well too. This gets an A.]

Chase Elliott #9 Hooters Throwback Chevy Camaro-I like a faithful throwback, and this is a great looking faithful throwback. It’s almost perfect, it’s just not on a Ford. A

Josh Bilicki #52 Junction Fuels Ford Mustang-Removing the fade and checkered flag motif takes this B scheme up to an A.

JJ Yeley #53 Jacob Companies Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #53, same B grade.

Mike Marlar #66 Auto Parts For Less Toyota Camry-I love the color scheme, but I hate the design scheme. The two cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

By David G. Firestone

Kevin Harvick #4 #BuschDirtCar Ford Mustang-The dirt motif works well here, and I think the car has a unique and cool look. A

Kyle Larson #5 Freightliner Chevy Camaro-Black and silver work well with this template. The car looks great, and earns an A

Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Mayer Cold Cuts Ford Mustang-I like the fade, and the mustard motif works very well. A

Corey LaJoie #7 NASCAR Trucks at Knoxville Chevy Camaro-This would be a solid A, without the sublimated designs, and black on the side. With these aspects, this gets a C.

Ryan Blaney #12 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

James Davison #15 Chevy Camaro-A smooth look, with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menards/Quaker State Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Bush’s Best/Kroger Chevy Camaro-It’s an ugly, over designed mess. This is awful, I hate it, and it gets an F.

Josh Bilicki #52 Insurance King Ford Mustang-It’s a bold, and unique look, that isn’t over designed. This gets an A.

Joey Gase #53 Donate Life Georgia Chevy Camaro-It’s a decent design scheme ruined by a mediocre color scheme. If this was red, black and yellow, it would work better. This scheme gets a C.

Timmy Hill #66 Supreme Transportation Toyota Camry-A smooth look, with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Ty Dillon #96 Bass Pro Shops/Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Camry-There is simply too much going on here for this to be good. It’s ugly, over designed, and just looks horrible. F

Corey LaJoie #7 NFL Alumni Association/Folds of Honor Chevy Camaro-This is just a mediocre scheme, not much worth noting. The color scheme is OK, as is the design. C

Kyle Busch #18 M&Ms Messages Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Christopher Bell #20 Sirius/XM Toyota Camry-The newer, cleaner design is a much needed improvement over last year’s design. Add in a great color scheme, and you have an A scheme.

Austin Cindric #33 Pirtek Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Anthony Alfredo #38 Georgia Peanut Commission Ford Mustang-I’m not really into peanuts, but this scheme looks great! The peanut motif works, and the color scheme is great. A

Timmy Hill #66 Supreme Transportation Group Toyota Camry-The only good thing about this is that I like the shades of blue and silver. Other than that, this is a terrible scheme. The stripes of over designed, and the orange doesn’t work. D

Stewart Friesen #77 Halmar International Chevy Camaro-Another example of a great color scheme with a bad design scheme. They cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Shane Golobic #78 Elk Grove Ford/NOS Energy Drink Ford Mustang-Even with a decent color scheme, the car is so over designed, that I can’t give this anything higher than an F.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger/Energizer Chevy Camaro-This template is a solid C, even with matching sponsors.

Josh Bilicki #52 Junction Fuels Ford Mustang-I normally don’t say this, but get rid of the fade at the rear. Also, the checkered flag motif needs to go. Other than that, this isn’t bad, so it gets a B.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-February 20, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Kurt Busch #1 Advent Health Chevy Camaro-It’s an ugly, over designed mess, and the color scheme is awful. I give this an F.

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

Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx Toyota Camry-I don’t like the off-center design on the sides, but I do like the overall design as well as the fade. The good and the bad cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Peak Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Garrett Smithley #13 Trophy Tractor Ford Mustang-Not even a good color scheme can save this disaster from an F grade. This might be one of the worst schemes I have ever seen.

Kaz Grala #16 Hyper Ice Chevy Camaro-I think that the black is over designed a bit, but it isn’t terrible. This gets an A-

Michael McDowell #34 Love’s Truck Stops Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

David Ragan #36 Select Blinds Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Cottonelle Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Ross Chastain #42 Clover Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Cody Ware #51 Nurtec ODT Chevy Camaro-I love the fade of the stripe, and the blue is really good too. The car has a smooth and bold scheme, and this gets an A.

Joey Gase #53 Page Construction Ford Mustang–New scheme for 2021, black, with green and teal stripe. B+

I don’t like the shade of green used, it needs to be darker. Also, the teal is needless. Still, it’s a decent scheme, so it gets a B+

Timmy Hill #66 VSI Racing Ford Mustang-The only thing keeping this scheme above an F grade is the color scheme. Other than that, this is an F scheme.

Jamie McMurray #77 Advent Health Chevy Camaro-A good color scheme balanced by a bad color scheme will always earn a C.
