DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

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

Ah, so it will work then?, cheers mate, I was wondering if there were going to be any incompatibility issues, I'm going to be using that same White Knight Clear gloss too, I'm not too fussed with the clear gloss dulling the finish a bit since the gold colour on the gold Fender Strat is a bit subdued, like a Brassy kind of gold, so are there any special techniques I need to use to get the best result?, or is it pretty straightforward?

I bought some Maple Timbermate to use as a grain-filler on the body of the HotRod Strat, so if I use it on the Gold Strat body I should be sorted, shouldn't I Wokka?
