Prosecutors said the trio and two others had all acted together as part of a “co-ordinated plan to inflict violence” on Graham that evening.
The three were remanded in custody and will be sentenced in May.
Jurors how the Yaris and an Audi driven by Lindsay had gone to Paisley in convoy.
Graham was said to have been effectively lured to the scene.
He was seen speaking to the driver of the Audi moments before the attack.

It was then the Yaris “came out of nowhere” and ploughed into the man as he crossed the road.
In his closing speech, prosecutor Michael Macintosh told jurors: “Robert Graham was sent up into the air. The Audi drove off so quickly that (a witness) thought it was that car which hit him.
“The Audi had drove off before Robert Graham had even hit the ground, but it was the Yaris that struck him.”
The Yaris was then wiped and torched at Airlink Industrial Estate in Paisley.
Sherry had been clocked getting out the motor before it was set on fire clutching a weapon.

The five-strong gang all then fled from the area in the Audi.
Lindsay was a friend of another of the mob John Wallace, who has since died.
He claimed Wallace had got him involved on “false pretences”.
Mr Macintosh suggested that if Lindsay had no idea what was to happen that day then he may, at least, have stopped to check on Graham or call for help.
The advocate depute: “Instead, Robert Graham had not even touched the ground and Mr Lindsay had sped off.”
Sherry admitted being a passenger in the Yaris, but claimed he was only aware of any collision when it actually happened.
Mr Macintosh put to the jury that Sherry would have them believe he had been “in a panic, desperate to get out the situation that he was in”.
Graham was left badly hurt following the hit and run, but survived the ordeal.
Lindsay and Sherry were found guilty of the charge after a trial. Millan had earlier pleaded guilty before the case began.
Lord Mulholland told the three: “You have been convicted of a horrific attempted murder – a car driven at someone to try and kill him all because of a drug deal gone wrong.
“Be under no illusion, it will be a lengthy sentence for all of you.”
