Flat Black Paint
I'm looking for a good durable flat black paint with a good sheen, something that isnt too tough to spray and will be a good lasting paint. Are there any ideas or opinions on any flat black paints?

Re: Flat Black Paint
Kyle, I really like Blitz Black. If you have a John Deere store near you[and who doesn't?] you can buy it in spray cans to try the color out or it can be had in quarts and gallons. It is made I think by Valspar and is some real quality stuff. the price is pretty good too.

Re: Flat Black Paint
I,m thinking of using S.P.I. black epoxy primer,it has UV protection.Look it up online and you can see the sheen and other write ups on it

Re: Flat Black Paint
Kyle, if your looking to go dollars down look at some equipment enamel. You can often buy a gallon with it s activator/hardner[ whatever] for less than $50. that is right 2 sprayable gallons for $50 bucks. You have several color choices and they have a semi flat black and a full flat black at the local parts to I go to. Try a place maybe like [if your local store doesn't have it or can't get it] Tractor Supply or even a hardware store like Ace.
I live in a farming town so every parts store has their own kind but it is tough as a railroad iron and stays forever and will even stick to grease! I had sprayed some trucks for a customer with it and it had gloss retention way past the 8 year mark. |

Re: Flat Black Paint
My vote goes the same way as Hugger just a different implement line I have used New Hollands multiple times with good results they offer a semi flat and a flat too
