It'd be easier to spray another solid coat over the top if you really don't like the grain after a few weeks/months than it would be to strip it all of you decide that hiding that grain really was a terrible decision.
i have promised someone first dibs and if they had a preference it might swing it given my stalemate.
i think I may need to do a tint before the gold to see. The clean sycamore colour won't suit the style

i still think it's a simple decision at heart. Let's see if I can pull off the difficult but mostly authentic gold top paint Steve let me have. If I can't the decision is made for me and I will be happy with it.
i also have my green epi I keep thinking about refinishing, so I will get a gold top out of this even if it's with the next formulation of the goldtop paint

Can't remember if it was for hank Williams but look it up

after lots of shaking it was still a bit spluttery, so lots more shaking and i did the first coat - the flame doesn't want to go and i almost think @GSPBASSES is onto something with translucent gold
second coat
Its definitely awkward paint to use and there were a few near misses with splutter. I cleaned the nozzle with thinners between passes and gave the can another shake each time. 3 passes from alternate directions makes a coat
Instagram
As for the spluttering it's due to the pigments not being sufficiently dispersed. I've taken advice on this and have a solution that I'll be implementing in the next few weeks.
It's looking pretty good though!
The colour is spot on

a few parts carefully laid in place

I had hoped you wouldn't succumb to the 'Flame Police'.....this is looking wonderful.

If the new formulation doesn't work out you should still make this available. Just with a load of caveats that this isn't for the faint hearted. Having used your burgundy mist and Pelham blue metallics, this is a lot trickier.
if you can make it more user friendly, even better, but I will be wanting more of this
