Update:

After waiting some time for Darwin's weather to dry up a bit, I decided to go ahead and spray a new coat of Gold Paint on the body of the guitar, this time round I didn't notice any paint runs so I didn't have to go and fix anything up, filling the divots in the body with some super glue seems to have worked a treat, all that's left to do now is wait till the paint dries and then do a second coat, and then after that I'll do one more coat and then it's on to the clear coating, the end of the road is finally in sight....yay!!!!
