| + | *Be wary of striping, 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. | ||
| + | *John Deere Blitz Black paint can't be applied to high heat areas such as engine blocks, headers, or pipes. And, it will not retard rust. | ||
| + | *It's reported to work well on fiberglass. | ||
| + | *Urethane primer or epoxy primer may also be viable as undercoats for the JDBB paint. | ||
| + | *Some say that JDBB paint is subject to fading and chalking over the years. | ||
| + | *According to John Deere, yes, you can paint over JDBB paint with another coat of primer and/or enamel paint. | ||
| + | *Opinions are mixed on using a clearcoat over JDBB. Some say that it can be applied if a flattening agent is used. Wet sanding and buffing for a glossy look is also recommended. | ||
