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

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

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

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.

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!
