*EDIT* I'm gonna share a little secret: On the Masgrafx #2 download, there is a chrome layer. Just make that visible, then make the "white" layer (inner number) a multiply layer. That's how I got the spiffy effects with the 2 and 22.
I don't know what my all time favorite design is but from a decade + of painting cars for Nascar Papyrus games here are a few of my favorites. Keep in mind these are not my 'best' designs or work. Simply the ones over the years back in the day that were 'good' back then which I now consider to be pretty meh now:
76 Unocal car - I've had a unocal car in my Armory Carset since I started it in 1997 back in Nascar Racing 2. The paint scheme has altered a bit over the years and from various mods. This isn't even the newest alliteration of the design. I think this was the 2003-2004 design when I first thought of sticking the blue and white stripes on it. Simple but effective and I've kept that similar design for years now in the carset lol
#3 Halo 3 car - I made this in 2007 to celebrate the release of one of the greatest (and still great) games known as Halo 3. The bright green / yellow was the variation for the superspedway version of this car. It is to this day one of the only cars I ever drove in an online NR2003 league / just with friends. I barely ever do online racing so it's quite special to me.
#17 Pans labyrinth car - First car I ever entered into a NR2003 forum contest. First car to win me the contest lol I love this movie when I saw it in 2008. I spent a long time on the car and glad so many liked it. I believe the car design was sent to the actress that is on the hood of the car by one of her friends.
#8 Ubisoft car - I always love making July 4th cars. I made this back in 08' I believe for one of my offline carsets. It looked real good out on the track at Daytona under the lights lol
#7 BR's Inc car - Made this back in 2010. I liked the rigid design, it looked real slick on the track. I don't think I ever publicly posted it for a showroom at a forum until now. I plan to bring this design back to life in 2012 for sure =)
#21 Miller Lite car - I made this in 2011, some people here probably remember this design. I plan to bring it back for the BR2012 car for my carset.
I could keep going but I think that is good for some of my favorite ones over the years. Nice to see them have one last showcase perhaps before they are locked back in the website vault again lol
Had to lose alot of my older ones when my computer had to reset becuase of a virus but these two are my favorites since then..
My All Time Favorite, I was going for a completly different look before i got the idea for the base
This one isnt fully an original idea but i did change part of the base to my mine, If you look closely on the roof its got two Nike Swooshes haha.
