This Week on Trading Paints: April 17, 2026

Welcome to This Week on Trading Paints, the pulse on what’s happening in the Trading Paints world while you’re figuring out how long it takes for a Pontiac Solstice to make a lap at the Nürburgring.

🧑‍🎨 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.

🏆 Paint of the Week

This week’s Paint of the Week, selected by Community Manager Patrick, is an early-days Furniture Row Racing replica driven by Kenny Wallace in 2007 — a year where FRR couldn’t quite settle on a final paint scheme. Ryan Daley, painter of this replica, labeled it “Variant 4” of the designs the team ran that year in the NASCAR Cup Series.
