I find the gold wears off quicker than I care for though.
Thanks everyone. Does pinball center in Germany ship to USA? Also does the gold wear off the gold flipper buttons from Flip n Out?

Technically no, they do not ship to the US. However there is a workaround for it which myself and other pinsiders have had luck with. Marco is a good guy and will treat you right.

Most gold products use a "vacuum metallized" process which is cheaper and is good for non wear areas. My buttons use an automotive gold plating and then are clear coated to stand up in a high wear area like a flipper button. More expensive to do but will hold up in the end.
Try putting a black button in the center of my gold ring. I did that on a Hobbit Black Arrow edition and thought it looked great. I use a clear flipper button as a base and then plate it so a LED light can shine through the button itself. But the center button is easily removed and can be made any color using a standard flipper button.

I have these on my IJ in gold. They have held up well for the past year
