Vincent's Paint Schemes

Decided to finally make a cohesive showroom thread. To start, here's a couple of schemes for a set I'm working on.





Renders: The Iceman

Contigs: Harkleroad
Logos: The companies, Abuchl, Fosterick
Numbers: Nick Baker

Made a 2000-02 Toyota Camry template for Cup2000. It's now available on NNR, Stunod and SRD.



Thanks to Cosmin and Team Om3ga for the original template, Cynon for the grille-making template, and Scott "The Iceman" Seibert for the render. Enjoy!

Thanks! I've added a download link to the previous post if anyone wants to grab it.

Here's a small preview of the set...

Nice work. I like the 20 and 16 cars

Now that I have Blender and can render cars myself in a timely fashion, I'm going to start formally presenting that set I've been teasing at various places since this summer. What if things turned out a little differently heading into the coming season? This is the 2017 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series!

TEAM PENSKE
Nissan announced in midsummer that 2017 would be its first year of competition in NASCAR's Cup and XFINITY Series, and it didn't take long for word to get out that Roger Penske's outfit would be switching manufacturers yet again. After a 2016 to be proud of, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano hope to continue their momentum with the new equipment.

#2 - Brad Keselowski


#12 - Joey Logano

(I know I forgot the driver signature on this one. I'm adding it as we speak.)

RICHARD CHILDRESS RACING
RCR made a move that many saw coming - the addition of rookie Ty Dillon to the stable - after Ryan Newman elected not to re-up with the #31 outfit. (Where is he going? Rumors are abound that he'll be driving a Dodge...)

#3 - Austin Dillon



#27 - Paul Menard



(I may go back and continue the yellow all the way to the rear panel on these.)

#31 - Ty Dillon


RANIER RACING WITH MDM
Guess who's back? After success in lower divisions upon its return to stock-car racing, Ranier sought to go Cup racing in 2017 by building on the remnants of Hillman Racing's #40 operation. An engine alliance with Hendrick Motorsports brought Alex Bowman to the team after the young driver turned heads filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. last year. It remains to be seen if the #28 will live up to its former glory, but things look much more promising now than they did, say, five months ago.



HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS

#5 - Kasey Kahne

Valvoline will split time with Farmers on this car.

#24 - Chase Elliott


Instead of Mountain Dew (which jumps back to the #88), Pepsi will adorn Chase's #24 for a few races in his sophomore season.

#48 - Jimmie Johnson

Lowe's continues its long-standing relationship with the seven-time champ.

#88 - Dale Earnhardt Jr.



Dale Jr.'s return to full-time racing sees Hot Wheels come aboard as an associate sponsor.
(I know the stripe on the right C-pillar looks wonky, but it seems to be a product of the model angling sharply at that part of the car - it looks fine when you look at it from other directions. There's not much I can do unless I want it to look distorted at other angles.)

E2W RACING
BK Racing closed up shop after 2016 when sponsorship failed to materialize. Melissa Lebron, owner of late-model team E2 Northeast Motorsports and proprietor of media company W.M. Stone Enterprises, and the Wallace brothers, Rusty, Mike and Kenny, teamed up to buy its assets. The new outfit will field two cars come Daytona.

#33 - Matt DiBenedetto



#66 - Regan Smith

WOOD BROTHERS RACING
After a breakout year that saw Darrell Wallace Jr. record the first three wins of his NASCAR XFINITY Grand National Series career and finish second in points, his effort was rewarded with a promotion to the big leagues in one of the most legendary rides in the sport.

#21 - Darrell Wallace Jr.

STEWART-HAAS RACING
SHR surprised the racing world when they announced a switch to Ford for 2017. With Penske moving to Nissan and Roush's future in limbo, this could be the team that Blue Oval fans look to for good things to come this season.

#4 - Kevin Harvick


LoJack comes on board the #4 to replace Anheuser-Busch.

#10 - Danica Patrick


#14 - Clint Bowyer



The team's #14 will continue to share primary sponsors as Clint Bowyer takes over for the retiring Tony Stewart. Rhino Linings hops on for several races while also serving as an associate sponsor for SHR as a whole.

#41 - Kurt Busch


GO FAS RACING
Frank Stoddard's operation is one of several switching to Dodge for the new year, and they've picked up Casey Mears to drive the #32.

#32 - Casey Mears

Awesome schemes so far.

Where did Ryan Blaney go :C ?

He's still in Cup, don't worry...just with a different team.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

INERCIA RACING
This Hispanic-owned operation first attempted to go Cup racing in late 2015, but their plans fizzled out. This time, with support from Nissan and a Truck Series vet at the wheel, they were more fortunate.

#54 - Germán Quiroga


CIRCLE SPORT/LEAVINE FAMILY RACING
Rumors of a Leavine/Falk split after only one year of the teams' alliance turned out to be unfounded, and CS/LFR is back with driver Michael McDowell despite losing what many thought was a loyal sponsor in Thrivent Financial. Samaritan Ministries will step up for the races Thrivent vacated.

#95 - Michael McDowell



ROUSH FENWAY RACING
No one has questioned that it was a tough 2016 for Roush Fenway. After shaking up key personnel and downsizing to two cars after the departure of Greg Biffle, could this be the year that the former powerhouse climbs back towards the top?

#6 - Trevor Bayne


Bayne's #6 will be sponsored by Advocare and Timberland.

#99 - Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Incredible work here (not to mention creative)! It may be one of the more simple ones, but my favorite is the #5 car; a shoutout to the old Corn Flakes scheme and with the Valvoline logo cleverly incorporated into it. I love it!

I wasn't the first to incorporate the V that way...

Spoiler:

Thank you for for the kind words!


ROBINSON-FOYT SPEEDWORKS
When HScott Motorsports announced that it'd be closing its doors after the end of the 2016 season, there were rumblings that former Cup driver Shawna Robinson had seen an opportunity to get into the ownership game. Now, in the offseason, we've learned the truth: she'll be working with the legendary A.J. Foyt to field a car. The two did not announce their plans until they found proper sponsorship, which came along with their driver - Landon Cassill.

#50 - Landon Cassill


GERMAIN RACING
In a chuckle-worthy coincidence, one of Foyt's former drivers is also coming to NASCAR this year, but with another team. After running a part-time Xfinity schedule in 2014 and 2015, and fully making the jump from Indy cars to a full-time stock car campaign this past year, Takuma Sato is set to run for Rookie of the Year in Germain's #13. Upon switching to Dodge for the coming season, the outfit will receive engines from Ganassi rather than RCR.

#13 - Takuma Sato


JTG DAUGHERTY RACING
With the addition of a second car for sophomore driver Chris Buescher and a manufacturer switch, 2017 looks to be a season of growth for JTG Daugherty.

#47 - AJ Allmendinger


#59 - Chris Buescher

Longtime supporter Clorox will pick up the tab on the new #59 Nissan.

All of these are fantastic! My favourites being #50 and #54

PETTY ENTERPRISES
The King's organization struggled for most of last year, but they showed flashes of brilliance toward the end, with Aric Almirola nabbing a third-place finish at Martinsville after leading some laps. This year, Petty has two solid drivers at the helm, and with Dodge completely behind them once more, good things might just be on the horizon if things play out right...

#43 - Aric Almirola



#44 - Ryan Blaney


CHIP GANASSI RACING WITH FELIX SABATES
CGR was the first team to announce a switch to Dodge for this coming season, and many analysts are pegging it as the manufacturer's flagship. Coming out of a solid season for Kyle Larson that saw him finally win his first Cup race and finish ninth in points, and having added Ryan Newman to the stable, the team could very well make good on those predictions.

#1  - Jamie McMurray


#40 - Ryan Newman


#42 - Kyle Larson

JOE GIBBS RACING
Gibbs and its affiliates seemed to dominate every crown-jewel race in 2016, and their #19 team very nearly won it all. They have a lot to be proud of heading into the new year, and that momentum should only carry them faster.

#11 - Denny Hamlin




The defending Daytona 500 champion continues to be sponsored by FedEx with a new white and purple look.

#18 - Kyle Busch



In addition to its Interstate Batteries sponsorship, Busch's #18 will feature two main M&Ms schemes, celebrating the candy's two most popular varieties.

#19 - Carl Edwards



Anheuser-Busch moves from Stewart-Haas to Gibbs. (OOC: I've fixed the outdated Subway logo on the Arris car.)

#20 - Matt Kenseth


Stanley Black & Decker moves their sponsorship completely to the #20 through its DeWalt division, while Mobil 1 fills in the space left by Dollar General's exit from the sport.

Interesting you did a Dewalt 20 considering that's actually happening...

FURNITURE ROW RACING
The team that won the Coke 600, the Southern 500, and very nearly the Daytona 500 is naturally looking forward to this coming year, and they'll be expanding to two cars to make room for Gibbs development driver Erik Jones.

#77 - Erik Jones

5-Hour Energy will adorn the new #77 Toyota. (OOC: I admittedly took some inspiration from Dobbs for this one. His still looks better, though.)

#78 - Martin Truex Jr.



WES GONDER RACING
The ARCA outfit will attempt a few Coca-Cola Cup races here and there throughout the season.

#71 - Reed Sorenson


THE MOTORSPORTS GROUP
Curtis Key's team will keep chugging along into 2017 with a single car and driver Josh Wise.

#30 - Josh Wise

(OOC: I also made a version of this car with the typical blue number stroke and no Incredible Bank logo, but I haven't rendered it just yet.)

TOMMY BALDWIN RACING
Reports of this team's death turned out to be exaggerated. They'll be at the Daytona 500 with sponsorship from Boppy, a manufacturer of breastfeeding pillows for new parents, and Toy State/Nikko. Beyond that, their sponsorship plans are unclear, but Baldwin himself has assured media that his #7 will at least attempt to run the full schedule.

#7 - David Ragan

Teams really will take money from, uh, anyone...
But hey, you pulled it off!

Dewalt has been on the 20 since they left RPM

Added an Advocare #6 to the Roush post and changed the #13 to a Dodge.

Some Cup2000 fictionals. You can get them all on Stunod now!

The Coca-Cola Cup set is finally up! You can get it HERE.
