First car you ever painted?

Some people were discussing this over at the Scawles Racing thread and I figured it deserved its own topic.

Mine was a #5 Gamestop car that used...I think it was a recolored David Ragan Discount Tire base with numbers in the Impact font. The second was a #3 M&Ms one, and I made the base myself using pictures of real M&Ms. It came out surprisingly well, and I wish I'd saved it.

Mine was a Rock Band Monte Carlo for NR2002. I used the Brian Vickers 05 base, Red Bull numbers..I remember I couldn't get the background off the RB logo on the QP's so I just had this blocky Rock Band logo on my quarter panels. Long gone, my dad restored his PC about 3 times since then.

AMP Energy #39 recolered Ryan Newman 2006 base.

A failure of a #1 Coke Chevy.

This.

It was my first attempt at using GIMP, and this was the first competed result. It was released on February 3, 2009 on NNR, to celebrate the 50th anniversery of what Don McClean called "The Day the Music Died". I won't go into detail on that. Anyways, it might just possibly be the worst car to grace the track, but it did play host to this ridiculous save.

No? Aw, you guys are mean.

Also, you can click the picture to download the .tga file of the car.

A very terrible #7 Air Force car.

The Scott Riggs 10 car with a Sunoco Jagged base (I think) from massgrafx with the colors changed to red and white with an Adobe hood logo, Econo lodge on the sides, Adobe text on the deck, Kmart text on the back, and in the buttom rear corners was the K-mart K with the K backwards on the top/left side. The numbers were Riggs's 10 Nesquick numbers from 2002 and were blue.

I painted a car last year that sucked, I've never painted again. I know, it's a tragedy.

The first car I ever painted was a decent looking Denny Hamlin car that someone at that other forum helped me paint. And it's been all downhill from there.

Who helped you?

My first car I painted was a 2007 Chevy Impala dedicating to a nearby Chevy dealer, used Dale Jr's base and a Hendrick Number Font. number 42.

My first car was a Danica Patrick #7 Motorola chevy for nationwide series on NASCAR 09 template. It had no base. Just black with blue failure numbers.

husyodade69 from the other forum. He helped me over AIM.

beleive it or not, I painted a few.

it was back when I had the original Nascar Racing, I painted a few cars. it was for a "league" I made back then I was 12 (it was the only time I had me and Clezl together)

the paint schemes were shitty though, I had Dan Leckliter (me) in Sunoco Colors (but getting the sponsor was impossible, so all I did was put it in lettering), and I had Dan Clezl in a very shitty version of tiger stripes with a Country Time Sponsor (which if you know, didn't go together).

A very terrible #16 car. Tried to play the base off of an older Greg Biffle base and I absolutely butchered the car lmfao. I've painted a few good ones back in the day, I just don't like downloading all that stuff to my computer so I have others paint my cars for me. Nick also knows why I choose not to paint.. (cough #6 UPS car cough)

I really hate to bump such an old topic, so do pardon me for that. I thought I might revive this in spite of recent events. Like Woodard said, everyone needs to start somewhere.

Obviously, mine are right here.

Oh look a Beta Brute and a very bad Patriot Racing/Lightning scheme.
