I am painting my 1970 Skylark Custom Saturn yellow and adding a GSX stripe kit with spoiler. It was originally Bamboo (dirty cream color) with a brown
vinyl top with lots of rust holes under the vinyl so the car is lucky to have survived in my opinion, I considered parting it out a few times since I purchased
it 12/96. My question is were the original GSX's painted flat black on the hood strips and sides or was it gloss black? My painter mentioned that most of
the 60-70's muscle cars were flat or satin on the hoods.
I'm new to the list but I have been a member of Buick Club of America for 10+ years. I have 2 Nova's and I've been overlooking the Skylark for
years due to rust problems but I am determined to get it finished this year. The Skylark was a 37k mile little ole lady car with brown interior I bought when
I decided to get back into the hobby. I will never buy an old vinyl top car again thats for sure.

Well we painted the hood and spoiler this weekend and everything is gloss clearcoat. It took all weekend to paint the yellow then black then red pin stripes
and 3 coats of clear. I'm real happy with the way it looks and now I have the body to finish sanding so we can finish the project. The Year One repo
spoiler was a real pain to get ready for paint, I think I spent more time getting it ready than I have the rest of the car. Looking forward to getting this
project completed that started with a 37k mile "little ole lady" Skylark Custom I bought 12/96.
