Onto an airplane in a suitcase (not hand luggage)?

It's a $2 can of paint. Doesn't have that kind of bullshit on the label.

I really did not know - It says flammable spray paints NO GO BUT Non-flammable liquid, gel, or aerosol paint Is OK

Jet Blue says no to any spray paint.

Further search says any can with a solvent that will support a flame is NO GO - CO2 would be ok per TSA. So water based paints that work with CO2 would pass TSA rules.

Interesting. Well it's definitely flammable, I'm flying with Singapore airlines. But I don't know what airline the connecting flight is with. Probably gonna be safer to leave it at home, but I can't buy gold colored spray paint where I'm going :(.

Art supply stores should have something you could use. Why does it have to be spray?

Calipers are not easy to reach.

Third world countries tend not to have art stores. It's for the frame of a push bike, a tin of paint and brush would take forever, plus it would be really messy.

What I do for a living is to solve problems. Yours is really easy. You want to spray gold paint! So and this is really easy!
Buy a very small can of Gold paint. Model shops sell very small cans. Then get one of these.

Largest I see for under $7.00 only holds 2oz. Ran out of time re dinner with friends soon so look up on web or check with a Home Depot for Atomizer's.

You could get a really cheep plastic water spray bottle that holds all you need. Solvent would eat up that thing after one use. But you only need it for that one job.

It might pop and you'll get paint all over your clothes and stuff OP

Probably not though

It depends on the airline, read what their small print says about what you can bring onto the plane
