Using the agraffe cutter

[Carl Meyer]

Okay:  Now I looked up the brasslaq and found it was clear.  I would like to
find a brass colored
lacquer so I could spray a steel rod to use for a lyre rod.  I have used
gold, but it doesn't look right.

Anyone know where I could get brass colored spray lacquer in a can?????
Thanks

Carl Meyer
