What does the gold coating do? Any risk of it flaking off?

What does the gold coating do?

Cost more?

Wondering the same thing, what is the benefit of the gold plating?

I would bet they do cost more Spdfreak.

The gold coating is a ceramic thermal barrier to reduce heat transferred to the piston.

The black coating is like a teflon coating to reduce friction on moving surfaces.

Those pistons are saweet......and yes, they probably cost a grip.....LOL
