This Week on Trading Paints: April 10, 2026

Welcome to This Week on Trading Paints, the pulse on what’s happening in the Trading Paints world while you’re making laps in Carson Hocevar’s off-road truck.

🧑‍🎨 ICYMI: Noah Sweet in the Spotlight

April’s Artist Spotlight focuses on Noah Sweet, who’s accomplished quite a bit in the world of motorsports design after getting his start in sim racing. You’ve probably seen some of his animation work or paint-scheme design if you’ve followed NASCAR in the past five years.

2003 Martin Truex Jr #8 C2M/Richie Evans Tribute (Charlotte2) by Jeffrey Stanton - Trading Paints

This is a recreation of the #8 Richie Evans Tribute Chevrolet Monte Carlo raced by Martin Truex Jr. in the 2003 NASCAR Busch Grand National Series / Little Trees 300 at Charlotte for Chance 2 Motorsports. Some creative liberties were taken so the design would fit the RCR/Harvick speedway body. Special thanks to Harris Lue + friends and Chad Mikosz for references/resources.

Goodyear 963 by Joey Richter - Trading Paints

The Porsche 963 was spotted in Paul Ricard running this livery during a Goodyear tire test, and I wanted to bring it to iRacing! The blue may not be exactly correct, and I may update in the future to bring it more inline with IRL. Here’s to hoping this livery is used as the throwback livery during Laguna!
