Is there some website were I can play with color combos?

Just look around on the street and check out the WOW paint on some new cars. Its even different than chips at a paint store. Find something that strikes your fancy and run with it!   Bill

Dear Ronnie, Bill, and 65GS.com exterior decorators,

Im constantly thinking of what to paint my Lark. One day Black one day Red, the other two tone. I find myself looking online for ideas. Now im thinking a dark green or butternut yellow. Im telling you

Are you at all interesting in painting your car one of the original factory colors?  This web page has the original colors with a sample paint chip and some cars painted that color:

You can still order paint from major manufacturers in the original Buick factory colors.  If a particular factory color appeals to you there is probably somebody on this board with their car painted in that color.

Of course that might make your decision making even harder!

Do let us know where your thinking takes you!

Cheers, Edouard

Check the 'photo gallery' link on our home page. There's MUCH more to 65gs.com than the forum!

While Black looks fantastic on a 65, it's not a great choice if you live in the desert or drive on dusty roads....it's high maintenance... it will always show the dirt and swirl marks need extra treatment. And it will get HOT sitting in the sun! A two-tone with white roof won't soak up the sun's heat so much.

Have you decided on an interior color? That may limit your exterior color choices.

Hi all,

If you're looking for factory color combos, I saw this on 442bro.com the paint section

http://www.442bro.com/

Would be neat to have something like this on this site, wouldn't you think?

Either way do what you like, weather it's factory, 2-tone or custom, I  personally saw a black and silver split a the body line/top of fenders/sail panels that I thought was sharp, especially with a red interior.

Years ago 20+ I got a pictures of one that someone painted up like a 70 SuperBee, had Super Buick on the logo, orange with black spoilers, all I could say was what were they thinking, but to each their own, after all its their car.

My post car I hope to be midnight blue with white inside the halo, I have a light blue interior, one day hopefully soon....it was originally sliver with blue interior.

Regards,

That is nice, looks like they have one of each possible color combination, or at least most of them. My brothers both had a 442 that was white with a painted red top.

Hello,
Here are a couple of my recent paint 1965 Convertible.
1st photo inside paint booth (Post clear coat).
2nd photo last week. I still need to mount front and rear bumpers, fender spears and rocker moldings.
The color is Arctic white, same as original color.
I can't wait to complete assembly and take for a ride.
Regards,
Robert

Walt the other day i was driving my work truck in the city I live which is know for being somewhat windy. During this week we where blessed with rain storms. Let me tell you Walt, a cloud of brown appeared. It was sand and the visability was very low, the sand began to hit the truck so hard at a violent speed for about 5 seconds. I laughed and said "wow that would of ruined a fresh paint job".
