John Deere Blitz Black

I know this thread is months old.
I was thinking about painting my mopar steelie this color. Is the blitz black too dull? I was looking for a semi gloss like the factory painted them.

John Deere equipment black enamel comes in Gloss Black, Medium Gloss Black, and Bitz Black which is more of a flat black.

Have to stir it up good so the flattening compounds in the paint stay in suspension and do not settle to the bottom of the paint can.

The can label says that it is self priming. I do 2 coats using the first coat as a prime coat. On the underbodies I actually brush the first coat into the seams and any scaly areas to work it good into the pores of the surface. Then spray the final coat on to give it a nice uniform finish and seal it up.

I mostly use the Medium Gloss Black with a hardener to paint my frames and seal up underbodies.

Here is a picture of 2003 Grand Caravan underbody that was just sealed with the Medium Gloss Black.

They lose some of the sheen after it has had proper time to dry down, like overnight.

Also here is a 16' car trailer that was just painted with the Medium Gloss Black, I like that finish for equipment as it is not so shiny.

The online supply of this good hardener for the John Deere Equipment Enamel is getting in short supply.
