Anyone know where I can buy both gold leaf and gold paint (the later being fake gold)?....

You can buy gold leaf at most of those shops selling 'Temple Supplies' - you know the ones, with loads of yellow buckets full of household supplies and Joss sticks everywere.

I've seen gold paint in the stationary department at Robinson Sriracha, but that was whie back.

(What do the monks do with all those yellow buckets)

Cash them in at the recycling center.

Gold paint...... just about any paint shop, tins or sprays.
