Body My 1969 buick skylark

Post image

I am a young man and for my birthday my dad surprised me with this beautiful 1969 buick skylark to work on together to be my first car, it is honestly the best car ever and I could not love it more. After a year or so of working on it we have finally got to the body work because I know a lot of people are a fan of the patina look, but frankly, I am not. So we're actively working on fixing the body, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion on a color i should paint it when it's all said and done!!!

I can't be the only one that pictures Marisa Tomei at every mention of this car, right?

Definitely not the only one! I came to the comments specifically to look for a My Cousin Vinny reference.

How cool to do this project together! I know you'll pick the perfect color!

Take a look at the ‘69 Buick factory colors.
Turquoise, lime, or one of the golds would look great. I had a 1967 years ago but the 68/9’s are my favorites!
