Looks great! What type paint did you use? hot rod flatz, PPG?

 

new wheels air intake and steering colume












hope you enjoyed the pics.

 

it was a ppg flat black, but i would never use again, didnt like the outcome of it, its more grey/black then a black! this winter it will be done over in a base clear with mat clear!!!

 

Well you did a great job man! I think it looks great. Hope to have mine done in about 5 or 6 months but you know how things get in the way. I'm set on painting mine in a single stage flat black so I can paint it myself and was curious what paint you had used. Again GREAT JOB!

 

thanks, it will be taken apart this winter just to do it all over again! lol

 

You satin black lovers should Google "John Deere Blitz Black". Cheap, extremely durable, easy to apply. It's gaining quite a following.
