It's more of a slightly aged Gibson Gold Top gold.
Which I'm assuming will probably darken a bit when I spray clear coat on it.
I think I've given the last coat of paint enough time to dry so Monday of next week is when I'm going to be giving the body another coat of Gold paint, hopefully I won't get any paint runs or anything else that needs fixing up.

Cheers mate, it's taking it's time but I reckon it'll be worth it in the end, as the saying goes "Good things come to those who wait", I've had to postpone spraying a new coat of paint on the body due to the wet weather we're getting, apparently there was a cyclone warning for Darwin because a category 1 cyclone had formed near the Tiwi Islands, but the warning has since been downgraded, we're still getting rain from it though, been raining since early this morning, it's good since it has cooled things down a bit.
Postponement means some extra drying time too.
I'm just going to see if I can get a quick "mock-build" pic sorted so you can get a bit of an idea what the guitar is going to look like when it's finished, will post the pic once it's sorted....stay tuned.
Here you go, hope this gives you a bit of an idea what it's going to look like once it's all finished:
