Valvoline schemes are the winner for any car number they appeared on. I think they may have appeared on more cars than any other, but I admit I have no documentation.

Hard to argue with anything on this list, although I think Harvick's Budweiser/Busch cars give the Kodak car a run for its money.

No no no on the 9

1.)

2.)

3.) All the rest

I feel like these discussions are usually driven more by nostalgia than anything.

For nicest looking cars, I think DW had the best when he started his team.

I doubt many of us here have advanced degrees in Art.

If we are going by subjective visual eye candy, instead of nostalgia, my favorites are

Ricky Rudd's 10 in 1999
Carl Edwards in 2008
Tony Stewart 2005
Jimmie Johnson 2016/2008.

Orange is my favorite color and I think blue and yellow is the best color combo there is

Contest over!

Give me the 1994-97 version. No paint scheme could make the Catfish Taurus look good.

Those '57 Chevy schemes were hideous.

 

[AdoubleU24]

LOL

 

[StandOnIt]

It illustrated just how much those cars were bizarre

1969,70 last years of unlimited horsepower and unlimited aero. Fastest car era Nascar has had. Outlawed. All of the other racing series in the world soon after had to follow suit with speed restrictions, man had gone too fast

#13 I cant come up with a great looking number 13

 

[ToyYoda]

#15 NAPA Chevy by MW

Not sure why, but I always loved this Motorcraft scheme. It's simple, but I like it.

#25

I kinda like this one a lot:

Had to go back a few years for that one though. #13 hasn't really had a great history in the sport.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I will say that this is one of the best looking cars I've seen in person. That blue just popped like crazy.

 

[MRM]

I always like this one the best, very clean look.

Me to, because there is no splitter and it's off the ground

 

[jws926]

I am partial to the 28 Texaco when Irvan was driving.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

The best paint scheme ever for 9 is not even close: ( my most fav paint scheme of all time in racing)

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

And as for 24 it might sound crazy but the 24 Axalta is the 24's best scheme, that car popped Color in day or night. Wish he had that scheme his whole career after the Rainbow went away.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

As for the 3...I'll always be a bit partial to One Tough Customer

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I liked Alan's Hooters scheme, but I was always fond of this scheme for a 7 car
