I would like to know the original colors for my 425 nail head,and where i can obtain the spesific green?If i change the exterior color, will it affect the value of my car? this car came with every option available with a custom interior as well.she has 57,000 origional miles on her,and it's from texas.

Don't know the color for the 64 425, but the 65 401 in my Electra is kind of a bluish green color. If I look real close at my dad's house, we may still have an old (1968 or so) GM rattle can of Buick engine paint around. If so, I could get a body paint store type match.

I've heard stories about a "nailhead green" paint around somewhere, but don't know the source.

I may not know much about late 60's engine colors, but I DO know my Nailheads. Buick Green is the correct color for your motor. You can order it from http://www.classicbuicks.com/paint&.htm
