John Deere Blitz Black is enamel paint manufactured by Valspar Paint for John Deere, for the purpose of painting farm equipment. It's popular among hotrodders because it's an inexpensive and durable finish for vehicles, that provides the look of a primered "rat" or "traditional" hot rod (described as: "flat", "suede", "satin", or "semi-gloss"). It's weatherproof, and blocks UV light, where a bare primer would soak up water and oils. | John Deere Blitz Black is enamel paint manufactured by Valspar Paint for John Deere, for the purpose of painting farm equipment.
