    Thank you so much! It looks like it is available nearby at a decent price so I will be trying it out soon. Do you know if this product https://www.amazon.com/Testors-Spray...+spray+lacquer is a good to use for the clear top coat in a spot that may get warm from my hands? Also, after the adhesion promotor, can I use basically any gold spray paint and then apply the clear coat?

    Sorry for all the questions. You (and this forum) have been really helpful in getting me started with my first saber project and I have greatly appreciated it!

    Yep, I use Dullcote all the time, you should be fine. Do not spray heavy. Thin even coats with time in between in the key. Keep in mind, that particular clear is matte, so your gold will not be glossy anymore.
    There is no perfect rattle can solution, but these two I use quite a bit together with good results.

    I was able to pick this up locally at an autoparts store for $7.
