Gold pinballs come in two distinct metal formulations. 

Chrome Vanadium Steel

Chrome Vanadium Steel is a highly polished, chrome-like pinball which holds up better to dings and scratches. The downside of this formulation is that the balls have a greater propensity to become magnetized in games with heavy magnet use. All balls will eventually become magnetized in games with heavy magnet use, it's the nature of steel. If you have a lot of games with magnets you can purchase a demagnetizing wand like this one. Vanadium steel is harder than carbon steel due to the vanadium content. 

Carbon Steel

Carbon Steel is another great choice for pinball games. You'll see these sold in the classic chrome color as a ball which deters magnetization by some suppliers. The downside of carbon steel is that it is slightly more susceptible to dings than chrome vanadium steel. All pinballs will get dings and dents due to the nature of their use. If you have a game with strong magnets (anything with a magnet flipper, magnet hold, etc) these are the balls for you. 

See the Versions tab for details on which ball to choose.

Add a striking visual upgrade to your pinball machine with this Gold Plated Pinball, designed for games where a gold ball makes thematic sense, such as Harry Potter pinball. Finished in a bright, mirror-like gold that closely resembles 24-carat gold, this ball instantly stands out on the playfield and adds a premium touch during gameplay. 

The ball is plated using a high-quality process that results in an extremely durable finish. It is highly resistant to discoloration, chipping, and scratching, ensuring it maintains its brilliant gold appearance even with regular play. Unlike novelty finishes, this plating is designed to hold up under real pinball conditions.

This gold pinball is the same size and weight as a standard pinball, making it a direct replacement with no gameplay changes required. Whether used as a feature ball, multiball accent, or thematic upgrade, it adds visual impact while maintaining proper game performance.

A simple but eye-catching enhancement for collectors and players looking to elevate the look of their machine.

As with any steel ball these may become magnetized over time. We suggest using a degaussing wand to demagnetize them like this one. Due to the consumable nature of the balls we can not accept returns.
