Recap: Proving Grounds Challenge #2 – Trading Paints 15th Anniversary
We’re sharing some of our favorite entries from our second Proving Grounds Challenge, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Trading Paints.

In celebration of our 15th anniversary and visual identity updates, earlier this month we prompted the Trading Paints community to show off their skills with our second Proving Grounds Challenge.
Artists from all over joined in on the fun to showcase their take on our new look — and simulate what an actual client brief might look like in this skill-sharpening exercise.
While there are no winners and losers (everybody’s a winner, in our opinion ❤️), Alan H.’s Supercars Ford Mustang ranked highest in total number of favorites when all was said and done.


The community has spoken: Trading Paints Supercars Ford Mustang Gen 3 by Alan H. was a crowd favorite!
Here’s a small sampling of some standout schemes submitted.



















There’s not enough room here to show off all the unique and creative designs submitted by dozens of community members, so you can check ‘em all out on the Proving Grounds page. (I know I had a lot of fun painting my NASCAR Cup Series Trading Paints car in Paint Builder!)
Thanks to all the painters who celebrated our 15th anniversary with us with this Proving Grounds Challenge!
