    good stuff Doc that's the gold paint I used on my gold tele. I used the white night clear gloss and it did dull the gold flake a little but still looked pretty good.
    A tip buddy is make sure the body is grain filled, at least 2 or 3 coats of primer and sanded flat between each coat of gold. I was lazy not sanding enough between coats and had trouble with a crack in the headstock and ended up using 4 cans at about $22/can. I ended up having to glue a veneer on the headstock to get it flat then painted gold
