==Can you paint over John Deere Blitz Black paint?==
 +
According to John Deere, yes, you can paint over JDBB paint with another coat of primer and/or enamel paint.

However, the wording of the above statement is disputed. While you "can" paint over JDBB paint, it should be done with implement paint only, as a 2K primer, base coat, or urethane single stage will strip. Any enamel (acrylic or alkyd) would likely work. If the paint was activated with a high-enough solids activator '''and''' then sat long enough, it may be possible to shoot a urethane single stage over it, and you '''may''' be able to use a urethane primer if careful.

*Opinions are mixed on using a clearcoat 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.
