I'm thinking someone here used some industrial or farm implement paint with much success.  I need details dammit!  I need to paint a car flat or satin black and it needs to be super cheap, but still look good.  Any ideas?

John Deere Blitz Black.  I'm telling you.  It is a really durable enamel and is cheap.  Last time I checked it was around  $29 for a gallon.  Can't beat it and it looks awesome.  End of topic.  Get it at John Deere tractor dealors/service centers.

flat colors are hot if you can pull it off.    tim don't go there

Blitz Black, I use it a lot on non cars at work. If you use clear it gets satin.

Found this:

If using blitz black or any acrylic enamal be sure to use a acrylic enamel hardener. Some folks may say it optional but IMO its not and needs to be used. One other benefit to consider is if you use hardener and decide the flat black is not really what you wanted in 30 days and only if hardener was used you can actually shoot a clear coat over blitz.

Found that on a hot-rod forum.  Sounds like as long as you use a hardener (and wait 30 days) you can use any clear coat, but they didn't specify.  I also hear if you clear it, you need to add a flattening agent to the clear to make it turn out satin.
I bet any reputable paint shop knows what's up with blitz black.  I sure don't.

Mask off "FUCKBALLZ", then paint it.

Fuck yes.
