Hey, how hard is it to paint a car in N2K2 anyway?  Granted, I have no artistic
skill, but I'm curious.

    It's not that Nascar doesn't allow Foreign makes, but they haven't
stepped up to the plate yet.  First they have to build a 350ci
Carbuerated-PUSHROD v8.  2nd they have to dare the wrath of Xenophobic fans.
Toyota is laying the ground work for entering Nascar, but even they are
moving very slowly.
    From what I understand, by the end of the decade, maybe sooner,  more
Toyota's will be built in North America than Chrylser/Dodges.   So they can
claim some American presense(sp?).  Mercedes and BMW have a small
manufacturing foothold here.  Who else?
    Nascar to does not prohibit fureners,  they just don't go actively
seeking their participation.  Hell they went 20 years ignoring the #3 Car
maker here in the STates.

Actiually, I did the car for N3, so the converter won't work.

I'm also trying a couple of different designs (I always thought the old
one looked kinda cluttered).  :)

Once you learn the paint program you prefer, and the considerations you
need to keep in mind while you're creating the paintjob, it's really
prety easy.  The fastest way to paint a car is to have an idea of what
you want to do, and how you want it to look when you're done.  I find
that wanting to just sit down and paint a car is impossible otherwise.  
Keep in mind that I adhere to the standard Nascar painting style, so my
idea of "decent idea" might be 100% different from everyone elses.

The best way to start is to do simple paint schemes. Less is more
anyway.

   Actually, it's a VERY strong unwritten "rule" Dave; no foreign makes in
the top three divisions.  Has been for as long as they've existed,
especially re the brand loyalty of the past.  The lower divisions on the
other hand, have had Toyota engines, etc. in them for years.
   Dodge ignored Nascar more than vice versa too :)  Last twenty-thirty
years, they've had other things to worry about........like staying solvent.

   Even now, I believe there would be an incredibly strong backlash if this
changed.  Nascar could care less what fans think, but even they won't push
it on this issue.................yet :)

  IMO, there's plenty of other racing series with "engine/chassis du jour",
so I hope they keep it as is for awhile.

Hard to imagine a Modena with pushrods :-)

I had no idea what the "Standard Nascar Painting Style" is, and probably
don't have the skill for it anyway.

So, I just did something original and different.
