Hi guys, i am refinishing my guitar, looking to achieve a Firemist gold kind of finish.
I bought Solid Gold paint, Nippon one. Initially, the colour was what i wanted it to be. However, after applying clear coat, it turned out more of a Shoreline Gold kind of finish. (I tried it on a block of wood, not on the guitar yet, heng ah.)
Should i be using a Gold Metallic type of paint instead and clear coating? Or forget about the clear coat? (Which i would rather not) Or are there any other methods to use? Thanks!
