Getting it anodized gold is a much better option than spray paint.

for $100 you can gold plate it if you take it apart yourself.

Amazing. I'd rather do this than to spend 17,000 on something that does the same thing as the 399 version. This is dope.

But can it clone exactly like the gold edition. There are a few missed spots the guy didn't get.

This wouldn't work because the spray paint would get in between the dial and buttons

Then put something between team to capture the paint, or your u could take apart it and spray it. Do it at your own risk.
