Any pics of nice 78-80 Regal paint jobs?

[FlintBuick4Life]

I have a 78 Regal I am repainting and can`t make up my mind what color and style I want to go with... anyone have some pics to show me? 78-87 Regals/GNs are fine too :biggrin:

I like this one the most! :biggrin:

LMFAO! Perfect :biggrin:... I thought about a black and gray two tone with red pinstripe like that old carb GN you got there. I think you need some body work there charlie... good luck lol

Look at the passenger side floorboards. That's where the damage I've found so far is. I haven't even taken the T tops off yet.:tongue:

wow... nice color. I thought about Black Gold or Black Cherry... It looks black until its out in the sun, then the gold or cherry color will come out :biggrin: Your car reminds me of my 78`s original paint job, witch was brown lol... gold is way cooler tho.

 

[mat231v6]

i agree gold is good. my car changes gold when the sun hits it right.

Another 78 owner I see... man, I think GM had the 78-80 rear bumper filler made out of play dough by elementary kids in Mexico... like the Buicks today are lmao:biggrin: Just about everyone with a 78-80 is missing the rear filler

 

[supercrackerbox]

Exactly. Oddly enough, my fronts are perfect, just the rears are shot. I've actually seen the rears listed on Ebay for around $200 shipped, but I'm hesitant about the quality.
