    Hi Doc, read my above post I added some tips. Yes use the White Knight clear gloss was about $15/can from memory.
    Also get some white knight primer and you will need to sand off most of the existing stain and go through the timbermate phase again.
    Just keep us updated as you go and I will guide and advise you the best way to go about the next stage

    Cheers mate, much appreciated, I want to do a good job with the gold finish this time round so I will listen to your advice, they didn't have any White Knight Primer in stock so I bought a can of Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Flat Grey Primer instead, will that work as well as the White Knight Primer?, it does say that it is for wood.


    Oh, and I bought some On-Guard Snail and Slug Adhesive Copper Tape, which I'll use for shielding, I also bought some masking tape to mask-off the neck pocket as well.
