Semi Official 2012 INDYCAR Paint Schemes & Liveries Thread

[ARROWZ46]

I don't think I've ever seen you say anything nice about any of the cars that ever appear in this thread..

fwiw I like that RHR is back in a car with lime green on it. His ethanol cars were always sharp-looking.

Then I question your reading & memory skills fastmaster26, because I've praised plenty of ICS liveries... but never yellow & white color combos!

Do yourself a favor & look up to post #2887... never mind, I'll re-post my opening statement.

The RC Cola, Dr Pepper, & Go Daddy liveries are excellent

RHR's IZOD livery is much better than the Ryan Briscoe IZOD layout. RHR's black & lime green ethanol car was very nice...just like a darker share of Sun Drop or PELOTONIA Green would greatly help the RHR Mid Ohio scheme.

Reminds me of Bourdais' 2003 Surfers car. Not the best shot, but the best I could find

[uncommonsense52]

I like the green. It will be unique and stand out in the field.

The Cialis car. Reminds me of that too.

Sarcasm or have you revised your original opinion? I agreed with your first impression...

If you know anyone who has puke this color should see a doctor right away... or get them to stop drinking that neon colored Jell-O shots!!!

No, I think the shade of green is better. It looks fine, given the need to mix multiple brands.

the green looks much better in paint version

[Bullers]

I like it personally. I might like it better if it was more of a metallic green though.

[00steven]

Yes it does.

[ARROWZ46]

Looks about the same to me...

Personally, I think they could have added a 2nd darker green (Sun Drop's or Peletonia's...) & still managed the multiple brands.

no the image looks like pea green and the paint is more of a lime green

[ARROWZ46]

Pea Green eh?



Pea Green soup??





The value of the Andretti Autosport artwork & the contrast of the sponsors is pretty well represented in 2D & painted 3D. The highlights warm up the Peletonia Green very subtly.

Anyone got a pick of Dario's new livery for this weekend?

blatant pandering. i get that they have to try and promote his americanism, but really?

i guess it IS better than having a blank sidepod, but for me it just screams desperation.

edit: I guess it IS olympic time, but I still stand by my previous opinion.

I guess some need the Olympic connection explained.

i guess some need to read the whole response.

While it does look nice, I agree. Seems severely out of place.

sweet - oh and I applaud the blatent pandering.... they should throw the olympic rings on there though....

[dwaldrep51]

I did read it and the "blatant pandering" assumption (incorrectly assuming that it has anything to do with Josef) is still there. God forbid SFHR shows support for the US Olympic Team?

[dwaldrep51]

they can't do that

[Buellboy]

Wow! A Navy Blue Angel just flew past my office window (no kidding) as I prepared this response. Go USA!!!

i guess some need to read the whole response.

And to your opinion...

[ARROWZ46]

I guess some need the Olympic connection explained.

Respectfully, the connection might need to be explained. Where are the Olympic Rings on the #67?

[aaron5572]

sweet - oh and I applaud the blatent pandering.... they should throw the olympic rings on there though....

they're probably trademarked or something stupid like that
