When I had my Shower forks re valved at Maxtons, I asked about having my fork sliders Ti coated. ( I assume thats what you mean about having the sliders coated gold?)
I was told that it really isnt worth the money and that I wouldnt be able to tell the diference. I think it would have cost about £300 to £400 pounds if my memory serves me correctly.
At the time, I stated that I thought that this would be the case. So in the end I just ended up having the forks re valved etc.
DC.
