Satin Goldtop Finish:

Right, if you really must do it...

Gold Top Gold

Guitar Reranch products is good stuff. An awesome use-to-be-local luthier swears by them.

This should do it, if you can live with gloss finish

Les Paul Gold Top Gold Nitrocellulose Guitar Paint / Lacquer 400ml

This looks very interesting. And, I cannot picture a Goldtop in satin... I've never seen it in a satin finish. A properly applied Goldtop finish really highlights a carve top and its curves. The gloss adds to the illusion... I think...

The tribute series is satin, including the goldtops. It looks good if you dig satin

I like satin on certain colors and translucents. Just never seen it in person on a goldtop color. I'll be keeping an eye out for it, if it ever happens.

My 2016 Gibson Les Paul 50's Tribute Goldtop was satin....

The question is can this finish be over coated with lacquer.

I hate to think of you being kept waiting. Check out the 3 goldtops in the background of this photo

Thanks, Ray. But you know as well as I do, that up close and personal, these things can look quite different in 3D. But, they do look nice in the pics.

I really liked the satin Goldtop look. It had fretboard issues that would have required a refret, so I didn't keep it.

Re-Ranch requires clear. I will have to explore some satin clear options.

I saw a Gibson Les Paul Studio recently at a coleagues's shop that they added painted on binding and it was a beautiful job.

Why not try a gold sparkle?

Looks pretty snazzy on a Gretsch Duo Jet.

Do it red with white stripes

How about white with red stripes?

Maybe a pretty woman's face on the back:

Nice call. Satin clear over gloss gold results in satin gold.

That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

I’m glad to see you’re a visionary, Grump.

That's what I was thinking might be a good option. Thanks for posting!

In case you haven't read it, here are the directions from ReRanch for applying the gold finish, just use the satin lacquer if that's what appeals to you

No input from Goldmember?
Is he not an expert on painting things gold, yesh?

Good luck with your Goldtop refin Robert.
