I have an ST kit on the go with a mahogany neck/headstock. I've been looking at options to make it less dull than it is and I like the look of the ColorTone Aged Clear Nitro. StewMac sell it for $28 AUD (https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tool...uitar-lacquer/) but being an aerosol, I can't get it shipped here. I've found a couple of places in Aus that sell it, but it goes for about $100 a can. I was thinking along the lines of 2-3 coats of that, decals and then finish with normal clear nitro but at those prices it's a costly experiment.

I'm not sure how well a dye will penetrate the mahogany and I'm worried it will end up blotchy if I go down that road. I'm just after a subtle vintage aged kinda tint, not a solid colour. I found some cheaper stuff in Australia. Not exactly what I'm after, but maybe the amber might work - https://www.guitaraust.com.au/finish...eck-tints.html. However, they're out of stock.

Anybody happen to know where I might be able to get the ColorTone sprays without having to sell a kidney? Or perhaps alternate suggestions to achieve a similar effect?
