🏆 Paint of the Week

This week’s Paint of the Week is quite a throwback! Jeff Burton raced this special promotional paint in the 2003 Coca-Cola 600, and painter Gary P. brought it back to life for an iRacing replica 23 years later.

📢 Community Shoutout: Paul R Chaloner has reached 2,000 followers

Painting stalwart Paul R Chaloner recently eclipsed the 2,000-follower mark on Trading Paints. Consistently one of the top painters on the platform, you’ve almost certainly seen some of Paul’s work atop the Trending page on the Showroom, if not on the track in iRacing. Congratulations, Paul!
