Painting truck John Deere Blitz Black?

I know there was a thread started by Captain Morgan a long time ago about doing this, but I just want to get everybody's input and suggestions and make sure I haven't missed anything before I do this.

I know it's relatively cheap to buy and I have a buddy who's uncle owns a body shop and will paint it for cheap. I don't have five grand laying around, and I'm looking for something a little different and the Blitz Black seems perfect.

Should I go for it? I would have my wheels painted with it too and get Harley heads and tint my tails as well to have the entire blackout look complete. I'm starting to outgrow the white/beige two tone with chrome wheel look and want a little more badass look to it. Don't hold back...I want to know what you all think!!

It’s a big roll of the dice on a late model full size truck but i have used it on motorcycle parts including a crotch rocket fairing and this is what i can tell ya.

-it lays down great. i used spray cans and got a professional finish.
-it’s easy to blend and touch up.
-it holds up very well.

I was going to use it to paint my explorer, but thats just a beater.

I like the flat look on trucks, but not sure if I would do it to mine. If you like it, go for it.

I've thought about doing it to my bike. Post some pics of examples of this paint.

Is this just a flat black paint? If soo you could probably pull it off but I would try and get other parts that are equally as flat, get the tails with no or little clear, etc.

will it fade and show fingerprints like flat paint? Check into the harley denim black. Its got some kind of clear coat on it to prevent that stuff.

It would have a flat clear coat on top of it to protect it and it would be more of a satin black than just flat. And I might be joinin you down there next year at Auburn

That would look sharp, but why in the hell would you want to go to that cow pasture.

What does Blitz Black actually look like? Is it just flat black im guessing? If it is, I think it would look good, really unique.
