Sorry, you're right, of course. Titanium by it's nature has a surface
structure which is difficult to polish to a super slick finish (i've
tried, not on guides, but larger things). The link I had found the gold
colored guides was 'Rod Building Supply Components Fishing Rod Blanks
Rod Guides Reel Seats Cork Rod Wrapping Threads'

gold plating.
