John Deere Blitz Black paint....anyone use it?

[Chassisman]

I'm wanting to paint my dually with a matte black and gray. I'm wondering A. Does this stuff cover nice? B. Can I ship it to someone not in Calif so they can ship it to me. Apparently it's non-voc. Calif won't let it in.....

I previously worked at John Deere as a Journeyman Toolmaker here in Horicon WI. I used Blitz on all of the suspension pieces and rearend on my Duster.

It was just single stage stuff that I found in the maintenance dept. It turned out great and has held up very good. Kinda looks not completely flat and never got chalky after I neglected it for the last 4 years. I'd give it a try.

As for shipping, if ya got a buddy out of state I dont see how you couldn't get some.

Cheers and good luck, Steve.

The Monte is a good looking car.


Chassis, if you need a second choice, I'd recommend Eastwood's Rat Rod Black single stage, or one of the other colors. It was $200 for 3/4 gal of paint, 1 qt of activator and 1 gal of black primer. I'm shocked how well my car looked with less than an hour prep. We didn't prime the car, the paint was really old and goopy when we found it on the shelf, and McGann managed to do a great job. The lack of prep is now showing in areas four years later.

Thanks, bought a quart can $18 (single stage) and I think 5 cans of pre mixed spray for $8 each. What I especially liked about it was you could blend it over bondo and the car always looked the same. Never had a car hit so often for some reason.

Wrap material is super pricey for flat black.....besides...I hate wrapping my own stuff....lol

I just checked locally and its $35/gallon. I have a good friend going home to Fresno for Christmas. If you are interested, could ask him if he will take a gallon down. Probably should get some reducer too.

Eastwood's stuff is cheaper than you driving to another state to get it.

About 825.00 to do the dually.....and wrap only lasts 6 months on the hood and roof.
