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
