As the 2012 season winds down and the offseason picks up, it's time for an annual question: "What will the drivers' new paint schemes look like?"

Posted on this page are new Sprint Cup Series 2013 paint schemes. The schemes here are in order of car number; so Brad Keselowski is near the top, versus Carl Edwards is down towards the bottom of the page. Check out these new paint jobs, and tell people what you think of them in the comments below.

Keep coming back, as I will update this page and update it with newly released schemes as often as possible leading up to the start of the new season. If you happen to see any new cars that haven't been added yet, or have a better picture of it, then feel free to message me or post in in the comments.

I prefer the simple designs without the stripes and swoops and flames. So the #21, #22, #56 and #88.

They all look too cluttered though; too many sponsor decals. I detest hood decals the most. All of these designs would be improved without it. I notice that none of these have a roof sponsor, and that will shake things up more. I think that the new rule that allows the contingency sponsors to extend into the door is a bad one. It crowds the design even more.

I agree. Not only that, but the driver's name above the window really takes away a lot from the schemes. You can see on Joey Logano's car what that looks like. I would much rather see at least a sponsor there, but preferably nothing.

I know I am extremely prejudiced and old fashioned, but I'll take any number of the various incarnations of Junie Donlavey's #90 Truxmore Fords and Mercs hand lettered by Howard the sign painter at Junie's Midlothian Pike shop in Richmond over all the "wraps" on today's NASCAR tracks.

I thought they would eliminate the name over the side window when they put the banner on the windshield. So far, all of the cars I've seen have both. I have a sentimental attachment to the name above the door; I'm glad that some are keeping it for now. I don't like the banner, it reminds me of IROC. But with paint jobs changing almost daily, I can understand why it's needed.

Yeah, even with four colors (plus chrome), I think Junie's car is easier on the eyes. Just a simple sponsor call-out on the quarter panel. I sure wish we could go back to that style. If you look at the black mock-ups that NASCAR provided , you'll see that they look a lot more like what we had in the Seventies than today's cars.
