WOW! Beautiful!
I have one with the same tiller control; there’s not many of those around …..so it seems.
What Brand/Color paint did you use for the gold?
Did you overspray the Gold Lacquere with a a duller clear coat or some sort? Your finish looks “perfect” in that it does not appear (in your pictures at least) to be extremely high gloss. Looks like more of a semi-matte or satin….which is what I want to have.
