Is true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?

LIFEIs true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?
Yes, that is very true.Is true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?
yep i seen them decal Elliott saddlers car last year . pretty cool to watch
Well, they're not 'covered' as you put it. They leave the windshield uncovered.
Wow, ihateyou is a Rocket Scientist. Like the other ones have said it is true. If I remember right I think it saves the teams alot of money.
yup
Yes,the teams get a more uniformed and smoother surface making the car more Areo dynamic.The old painting then apply a vynal number caused a ';lip'; that would break up air flow.A few of the lower budget teams still paint their cars.
Yes, it's true.
Yup, its vinyl not paint. Though in the early days of NASCAR it was paint but gradually became vinyl. The last instance that I recall that paint was used on a modern day NASCAR (now the 'Car of Yesterday') was Jeff Gordon %26amp; Jimmie Johnson's entrys in the 2006 Daytona 500. But that was a 1 race deal. No special event as the reason why just trying to get any kind of aerodynamic advantge they could was the reason I heard.
yeahh.
Most of the cars have a basic paint job applied just for the main colors, but the graphics are all vinyl decals. Paint weighs much less than vinyl does.
Like the others said yes they do.





BUT, in some cases at Superspeedways like at Dega and Daytona. Teams will go with paint, because some times they believe it might give a small, (very small) aerodynamic advantage.





Case in point Gordon last year at the Superspeedways.
yeppppppp


the paint would pill off ahaha
ihateyou go play with dolls rather than try to answer simple questions that you know nothing about
Yep. They do that so teams can bring an extra car, leave it painted white, and say it's JGR, if Denny Hamlin ends up totaling two cars, they just have to throw the decals on the car and it's a Fed/Ex car, but they could do the same whether it was for Stewart or Busch. Very smart. Some teams think it helps with Aerodynamics too.
