Supposedly the gold is a little better, but IMO, still not good enough to be worth so much extra cost. I found a local place that sells Z-Grip (~$30 a gallon - I bought this, and it's definitely much easier to work with and sand cleanly) and Rage Gold(~$50 a gallon) in an area where there are a lot of dealerships and body shops, but some Car Quest locations supposedly sell Evercoat and Rage, too. FYI, I haven't been able to find anything but bondo products at any of the Autozones or Advance Auto Parts stores or hardware stores in my area.
