Looking at painting the notch over the break

Has anybody used John deere satin black also known as blitz black.

If not what else have you had success with.

Cheers

I have used John Deere Blitz Black over the years on many jobs... it doesn't need an undercoat...

I painted the sills on a Lancer I rallied many years ago....
and lots of other places.... I painted many different surfaces with it.... goes on very easily..... wasn't too expensive....
It never peeled off....
Just make sure the surface is free from wax etc....
I painted a bull bar and wheels with it many years ago...

Its Not Glossy.... but its not really flat either.....
a Brilliant pressure pack paint...
from Your local John Deere Dealer....

You will have to look up John Deere .... on the internet...

cheers

I was thinking of doing mine in Rust guard, comes in many colours, is glossy or you can get flat black and it's great for bare metal. About $70 for 4 litres and you can use it without any primer.

are these products UV stabilised.

I've heard that the blitz black is hard wearing and has a nice satin finish but is difficult to get other paint to stick to.
Might hamper things when I want to do flame job.

theres a product called flatten base which can be added to acrylics or 2pak to give you a saten or matt look but allso had wearing and won,t sheen up. Adelade company called Spray Chiefs make a line of saten and matt finishes.
