Ranking My Favorite NASCAR Paint Schemes of 2025!

A full season of paint schemes means a full season of arguments, and this list brings every kind of color war to the table. From clever callbacks to clean classics to loud neon that punches you in the face on sight, these top 25 schemes set the tone for 2025. As always, the three C’s rule the conversation, and this breakdown by Eric Estepp shows how far designers pushed things this year.

• Which bold colors and oversized logos cracked the top 25, and which ones just missed the cut, even with fan hype behind them?
• What clever theming pushed certain schemes higher than expected, especially tributes and nostalgic throwbacks?
• How did Trackhouse manage to sneak multiple designs into the early part of the list by going loud, modern, and unapologetically busy?
• Why longtime staples like Shell Pennzoil, Napa, Sunny D, and Mobile One still earn their way in by staying clean, sharp, and unmistakable on track?

As this countdown moves into the top 10, the mix of personal favorites, clever details, and regional pride makes the ranking even more unpredictable. Whether it’s a stealth bomber layout, Texas branding done right, or stripes that make a car look faster than it is, every entry earns its spot. If you’re a scheme nerd, this is your episode, and you’ll probably end up rethinking your own list by the end.
