Petty Blue is such a lovely color, and I really think the Superbird looks best in it.

What? did i just sound feminine?

No, I don't think so. I'd still say that it is not only one of the best paintjobs in NASCAR, but it is also one of the most recogniseable out there as well.

...Maybe the movie "Cars" had a bit of an influence in my nomination...
 
Lotus Elise GT1 (all of the paint jobs)

I've already posted my favorite (Racing for Holland special "football" livery for 2006 season) but here are a couple I also like:

Highcroft Racing Lola AER


Swiss Spirit Courage Judd
 
I have a few favorites, myself, but my all-time favorite livery is the Penske Sunoco livery, especially on cars Mark Donohue drove. In particular, his 1972 Indy 500 winner.

and his 1971 Ferrari 512M.

And my personal favorite, his 1973 Indy Eagle.

Dutch Supercars have some awesome paint jobs.

The Rudolph viper and that multicoloured Marcos look great :D But pics are hard to find.
 
@benzoboy, yeah, its pretty nuts, the blueish purple is actually a colour shifting paint, it goes from purple, to blue, to green, and back.
 
The Castrol Paintjob is classic. You'd think I'd choose a Supra or Celica to model it, but no.

The "psychedelic" Porsche 917, raced in 1970...



...and it's invariably linked to the "Pink Pig" Porsche 917 (same year).

 
The Panoz LMPs have fascinated me:
