Corrected entry: Lightning McQueen unveils his new "Radiator Springs" look, with white wall tires and a retro paint design. But a few minutes later he's reverted to his old look. He keeps the old look for the entire tie-breaker race, and then the "Radiator Springs" look comes back, and stays for the rest of the movie. (01:24:20 - 01:47:10)

Correction: A few minutes later? Hardly - McQueen's has time to travel to California, got set up for the race and so forth. Plenty of time has passed. He would have to revert to his original look for the race - he has contractual obligations to his sponsors, their logos will have to be visible, as will his racing number, he'll have to use race-specification tyres rather than the showy whitewalls and so forth. Once he returns to Radiator Springs after the race, again, some time will have passed, probably several days given the likely media frenzy over how the race finished. He's simply been to see Ramone to get resprayed back to his retro look before finding Sally.
