Hi dudes, I own a 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible. When I purchase her it was white, but now, after a bump in the side, I have to paint her and can choose the color. The VIN tag says that it was V1 : charcoal metallic + white top. So I have decided to take her to original paint. What is your opinion? Do you have pics of the 68/69 skylark in charcoal metallic? Where I can find the paint.... But I am from Spain, so better, can you give me the code of a paint manufacturer or so? Thanks a lot from Spain. Ivan

Great choice, lovely color. Here's another look (it was used in '67 too): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4vODmgXSEc Devon
