==Notes== *Striping of the paint is thought to be caused by the reducer drying too fast. To eliminate striping, some people recommend using regular enamel reducer instead of the John Deere reducer for a slower evaporation rate. *Hold the gun at a 90 degree angle to the surface and keep a 50% overlap. *If striping (tiger striping) becomes noticeable individuals have reported success by spraying less paint per pass and using a lot of overlap (90% overlap) and switching directions on each coat (horizontal then vertical). *John Deere Blitz Black paint can't be applied to high heat areas such as engine blocks, headers, or pipes. Also, it will not retard rust. *Some people report success applying it to [[Fiberglassing|fiberglass]]. *Urethane primer or epoxy primer may also be viable as undercoats for JDBB paint. *Some say that JDBB paint is subject to fading and chalking over the years. *Opinions are mixed on using a clear coat over JDBB. Some say that it can be applied if a flattening agent is used. For a glossy look, wet sanding and buffing are recommended.
