Black satin paint

I am shooting my B'cuda in my garage myself. I remember reading that the "Hot Rod Black" that everyone uses has a twin that looks just like it. It is some kind of tractor paint but I can't remember right now. Any one know what I am talking about?

I was reading about in on the HAMB.

That may be John Deere 'Blitz Black'. I've never seen it used but it's supposed to be durable and cheap. However, if it's like most implement enamel I've used it takes 2 weeks for the stuff to dry.

I shot the truck with the SEM Friday. I sealed it with black sealer, then shot two coats of the Hot Rod Black on the exterior and one coat on the jambs, inside the doors, and under the hood. It's a '74 Dodge Club Cab but has no bed. It took 2 kits, which each consist of a quart of paint and a half-pint each of catylist and reducer. Cost per kit was $43.
I'll try to remember to post a pic next week. It came out looking better than I expected.
