    Im looking into buying a 1972 Buick Skylark real soon.
    Im looking at the restoration paint from www.tcpglobal.com, duplicolor paint and others.
    I would like to do either a jet black body with the hood, trunk and roof either a fire red or cranberry, navy blue body body and the hood, trunk and roof jet black or a deep burgundy body with the hood, trunk and roof jet black.

    I was looking at the color chart on www.tcpglobal.com and Im trying to figure out if deep chestnut poly is closest to black.

    Which color combo should I go with for a custom job?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A little advise. Find someone thats got good computer skills if you cannot do it yourself and photo shop the colors to choose. Custom paint is a very specific thing for each owner. What I like may make you sick. Do your research and pick out what you like. Ask some painters what they think or see if they have photos of cars they have painted my guy has pics of every car he's ever painted
