Gold Points

[Jamesr4300]

How long do you expect gold plated points to last in terms of their finish?

I need to repoint my Mamba's and think they would look awesome, but not wasting the money if the finish flakes off after hitting the wire a couple of times

The finish is quite good usually for everyday playing. Roughing them up too much takes the finish off them quickly though

[Little al]

If you have to rough up the points to avoid bounce outs the finish is "finished no pun intended"

I had gold storms in a set of chizzys couple of year ago and i seem to remember them going black quite quick

I had gold unicorn points fitted in a set, after a few weeks couldn't tell they were gold!

If I was to put a coated point in Mamba's and you like 32 mil points I'd go with the rainbow ones. https://www.dartscorner.co.uk/product_in...s_id=22219

I have gold Storms in a couple of my sets and the finish is lasting very well. I do not scuff my points at all though. They dulled up a wee bit, but still look quite nice.

These gold points would look good

Me too, I had Gold Unicorn points in a set of Gold Taylor Unicorn Phase 1s and you couldn't tell that they were gold, here's a close up ~2 months after installing them (I also alternated between this set and a set of Black Phase 1s in that time period):

However, I also have Gold CD MK2 points in my Flintlocks and they are still gold, they are my regular darts and have been going for about 3 months. Still plenty of gold finish on them!

I use 36mm Target gold points and have to say they keep their colour very well.
I have them installed in at least 2 sets and haven't seen much wear and tear on the colour.

I'll give a shout out for CD MK2 points.... excellent quality Points. What-ever colour you choose.

Gold look slick, though......eh!

I've got gold Target and also gold A180 points in a couple of sets and I would recommend those as well (I think the A180 ones may be made by Target as well)
