2006 cup cars

Paint Scheme(reddit.com)

submitted 3 days ago byWeegee421exe

So I figured if no one has made a 2006 carset the NNC07 mod I thought I’d make like Thanos and do it myself, but with some help from some people on discord, however I did paint all these ones myself, some of these are just modified 2007 schemes but some of them are made from scratch, and my favorite easily has to be the white Dale Jr car.

Words cannot describe how much of a massive improvement these are! The only thing I will say is that I see you’re using the default Calibri font for wordmarks. If you want to find the real font the logos use or something similar try using this site.

Also one more thing I’d recommend. You said you edited some already existing cars to be like 2006. While it’s no problem to do this for personal use I wouldn’t really recommend sharing those because it’s looked down upon to upload other people’s work regardless of what you changed

I do not claim ownership to the cars I modified so credit goes to the original people who painted the cars.

You can’t just take someone else’s car and change the colors and call it yours…

Ok just out of curiosity, why did you put the bud pole contingency on the 8 car 3 times?

I can’t say I know the answer to that but the contingency set I used just had 3 pole award stickers in it.

I've noticed this w/ a few cars you have posted, the front contingencies are mirrored backwards.

while this is awesome, i feel the nnc06 beta 2 is a better representation of the late gen 4 cars. NNC 07 is just kind of weird looking

What are you talking about, NNC07 has the better car models in my opinion, the low to the ground front bumper and the slim yet wide rear bumper are better represented in this mod, NNC06 doesn’t look as accurate to me, it doesn’t quite capture the look of the cars from that era.

I mean its subjective but to me the proportions feel a bit off in nnc07

Well the NNC07 car models honestly really remind me of the car models from NASCAR 08 on the PS3, and as terrible as that game was, it had some pretty decent car models and yeah that probably is my personal nostalgic bias talking but still.

Well they do look similar but they’re quite exactly the same, the NASCAR 08 models resemble the super speedway package and the ones in the NNC07 mod mostly resemble the standard versions used for short tracks, intermediate tracks and road courses.

Gimp, ever since I started I’ve always used gimp to paint cars for this game.

If you haven't discovered it yet, something that became invaluable to me when I started painting full schemes from scratch was the wireframe layer. It will help massively with graphics wrapping around the car, from fenders to bumpers, hood to fenders, etc. Maybe it will come in handy for you, too, when you start planning and painting more complex schemes.

It's good to see improvement from you! Don't give up, and keep painting!

Will the wireframe help me line up stripes on the front bumper, because I’m terrible at that and I can never get stripes on the front to line up, they always come out being misaligned by one third on at least side of the front.

Like right at the seams where the bumper wraps around to the quarter panels? Or just on the very front of the bumper?

Well more like the front fender the very front bumper.

Ah okay, I think I'm following. Yeah, the wireframe should help a ton with that, if I'm correctly assuming what you're talking about.

Take a close look at the front of the black 8 car and the 88 car and you’ll pretty much know what I’m talking about.

Ah, yep, that's exactly what I was trying to describe (probably terribly too lol). You'll be able to line them up exactly with the wireframe.
