UA lounge access for UA purchased upgrade?

Greetings,
I have a UA award ticket from the USA to Brunei on a combination of UA & SQ with an option to purchase a first class upgrade on the UA domestic segment, SEA > LAX. It doesn't mention as an upgrade benefit, but would I get lounge access in SEA & LAX if I purchased the upgrade? 4+ hour layover in LAX so it would be nice.

Cheers.

SEA-LAX in domestic first class won't give you access. If you are on SQ out of LAX and Gold or higher in a program other than UA you will have United Club Access at SEA and LAX. Gold on UA will get you access at LAX. The one-time pass purchase fee is likely to be less than your upgrade, though.

Domestic First is not eligible for lounge / club access. You can purchase access at the door or perhaps as a part of you ticket

You will get premium bag allowance for the entire trip, but no lounge access.
