    Doc how much did the tin of gold paint cost ? I would advise against opening it, the finish will have brush strokes all over it. I would wait for more spray cans or call some auto stores to see if they stock it. You can get a refund on the tin if it's unopened and you keep the receipt.
    I checked and Bagot Road is the only green shed in Darwin.
    What date is the gig in November ? You have all of October to finish it

    It was just over $40.00, one of the sales assistants opened it to show me what the paint looked like, okay then, I won't do anything, I'll wait till they have some more cans of Super Gold stock in, I still have the receipt so I'll hang onto it, I'll go back next fortnight to check if the paint I'm after is in stock and I'll get a refund.


    It'll give the body some more time to dry although the paint does seem to be dry, a couple of more weeks isn't going to hurt if it means that the finish on the guitar body is going to end up looking better.
