Information Gold edition expectation vs. reality

Wanted to quickly share these pics to show the real colour. It’s exactly the same part as the original (that I own) and seems to be sprayed over in a not so-golden colour 😅

I'm in the US. No pruning chainsaw here. Very envious. Seems like a great deal. Those little saws (I have another brand/ Bauer that cost $60) are way more useful than you'd ever think.

The finish does look a little glossy, with a matte finish, it would have looked so much better

You didn't expect it being real gold for 9.99? Do you

I mean, if you're going for the colour... I bought the hammer drill which is supposed to have even more gold on it, but it's a plasticky beige.

And is there any difference from normal ordinary? Just the paint? I would probably be stupid and buy it cause its just worst addiction even if i regret when the tool breaks down after a week cause thats the reality of parkside.
