    Black on black would look good...does the car have a/c? I am considering a dark color too.

    I have a 69 Skylark too. Dropped off my "new" hood and front fenders off at the body shop today..they were media blasted. I will be doing the front clip in prime -seal for now. I am going to black out the interior and am udecided on the exterior but a dark Navy blue would be nice. Same situation on the a/c...has some charge and copmressors kicks just no cold air yet.

    A nice black car looks good!

    Two things.
    1) The body better be perfect.
    2) It's just about impossible to drive more than a block and have it look freshly washed.

    My 69 has old orange paint. It will be orange when it's fresh again. That's what I was going to do with my 65.
    I like a color that stands out from a distance!

    green...not sure about that one.

    black is def an easy color to get dirty....i think it would look awesome with black boss 338 wheels on it to. i was thinking of getting fiberglass bumpers from tamraz's to paint black as well. when i visual it, it looks crazy-bad!!
