    I had one as the captive ball in my IJ. Even then the gold wore off quickly with light use and meticulously maintained pin. Honestly,I really wouldnt bother

    Quoted from benbethel:

    That was a great post, thank you for that. However, you could use 14K gold at just over half the price of 24K gold... or there are several methods out there to color stainless steel.... I'm finding steel, silver, copper, brass, black, pearl, glow in the dark, and multicolored balls... just not gold. I am weary of copper/brass as they seem they'd tarnish and leave dirt on the play field.
    Anyone have experience with other colored balls? Do they play the same? Seems some are ceramic? I'm pretty new to mods, so any help is appreciated!
    Next up, I'd like to figure out how to see if we can get those background graphics updated on Wonka - after all the previous JJP pins I was really expecting something magical and not so 'meh' in the background graphics.

    I would think some of those other metals would behave and wieigh differently from a standard ball. Might not play well
