Painting over Blitz Black?

I painted my car JD Blitz Black about a year ago and now I want to actually paint my car a Burgandy color and do away with the flat satin look. I'v heard rumors though that you can't paint over blitz black - I don't see why not though? Is this true? Will I have to sand all this off before I can paint my car?

I plan to do a little body work, prime and paint it without removing all of the old paint (again). I can understand not being able to paint lacquer over it, but I can't see there being a problem with painting enamel over it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, I was able to get in touch with someone earlier that is supposed to be an expert from what I was told on this Blitz Black paint. He confirmed that I CAN paint over the blitz black with another coat of primer and/or enamel paint.

Just thought i'd update this incase anyone else has this question later.

I'd advise trying the new paint system on a small spot first.

If it is sensitive paint, it may wrinkle at some point in the painting process, and then you'll have the added time and expense, and have to strip even more paint!

OOH YEA had a car WRINKLE:eek: :eek: on me the guy said it was painted with lacqure and he bought the new paint lacqure. Scufed the whole car taped it off shot it. Next day He was sanding his A__ off :CRY: :CRY: :CRY: most came off with a bondo spreader. Sure was a funny looking mess:HMMM: Finely finished it with enamel:D

If it's been on there that long, I would at the very least buzz the surface with some 400......I'm no expert, but I think I would shoot a high quality sealer over it and see what it did... If the car has been outside or been driven, it has been subject to many sources of contaminents that could give the new paint fits!!!!

Of course the guy that sells or uses Blitz will tell you that you can paint over it. Call the paint company that you plan to go with on the new paint and see what they said. I don't recommend it. I have seen this JD paint and was going to use it but noone knows if it lasts more than 3 years. I wouldn't trust it. Dry strip it down and much as possible and that way you never have to worry about it later.
