Check out the 2019 paint scheme for Jimmie Johnson

His car has looked essentially the same over 18 seasons on NASCAR’s top circuit, but a new paint scheme is among the changes for Jimmie Johnson in 2019.

Over 18 seasons on NASCAR’s top racing circuit, and over a record-tying seven championship seasons, Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet has had the same main sponsor with few variations on the way his car looked over all that time. But primary sponsor Lowe’s has moved out of NASCAR, and Johnson signed a sponsorship deal with Ally Financial in October.

Ally will sponsor Johnson for at least the next two seasons. On ABC’s Good Morning America Friday morning, with a special tie-in to Make-A-Wish for a fan who will also attend the Daytona 500 in February, Johnson’s new paint scheme was revealed to the world.

Johnson said he had great input in the design, and it seems his daughters also offered their input right down to the wire in the days before the reveal.

“Personally, I’ve put a ton of time in on this paint scheme to help our team develop the new look.”

Here’s a look at Johnson’s new paint scheme, with the signature No. 48 standing out in neon yellow against the black base.

A new sponsor and residual paint scheme is not all that’ll be new for Johnson this year, as he tries to get back on track after going without a Cup Series win for the first time on a full-time schedule last year. He and long-time crew chief Chad Knaus have split up, with Kevin Meendering moving up within the Hendrick Motorsports umbrella after working with Elliott Sadler on the XFINITY series for the Rick Hendrick co-owned JR Motorsports. Knaus is still with Hendrick, just not as Johnson’s crew chief.

It’s a little hard to make out Ally’s name on the hood of the car, which isn’t ideal, and based on Twitter there’s a generally negative reaction to Johnson’s new paint scheme. But what do you think of the new look?
