Anyone ever heard of this paint?

Yes! Blitz black is great stuff. My father owned a JD dealership up until about three years ago and I worked there for almost 10 years. Typically I used the rattle can stuff rather than shoot it out of a gun. It has great adhearence and provides a great flat/semi gloss finish.
After using the blitz black rattle can stuff (which is about $5) you will never use a $2 rattle can special from a discount store.

FYI most the the green and yellow on newer JD equipment is a system like powder coating---though they sell the same colors in traditional paint form you won't get exaactly the same finish.

Thinking about going with the semi gloss black look of an old rat rod for my car. It dosent hurt that it dosent cost as much as a special paint mix to get the same effect

i want to paint my car that color.

how does that paint do on the fiero panels vs. steel? Also, what issues if you want to go a different color in the future? Can you paint over it or do you have to stip it?

Did you read the link?

quote Some people report success applying it to fiberglass. (should work on our cars) According to John Deere, yes, you can paint over JDBB paint with another coat of primer and/or enamel paint.

Does Blitz Black come in White! My next color will be a satin white.

if you read through the forum postings listed on that page, theres a few reasons why not to use it. alot of the people said a different satin paint works better.. or an epoxy black primer does it too.

I think House of Kolorz make a paint called HotRod Flatz that look like they are a decent paint and come in many colors. I will probably look into these when I repaint mine.
