Then its gold to match the rest of the bling bits on your bike
Sirch,
Nice job. I know wot you mean about them changing colour though -I did mine last year (using wd40 and a scouring pad) Went back on shiney silver, and a few weeks later were a nice bronze colour to match the blade fork legs.
TBH I'll not be bothering to do them again, just wipe over with some wd40 every once in a while to keep them bronze, rather than rusty brown
Titanium nitrided, that sounds expensive but would look great
I expected them to change colour but just not so quick, all it took was one ride (35miles).
Don't the WD40 just burn off (I bet that smells good ) I don't ride in the rain any more intensionally

I like your thinking for Christmas pressies, would make a nice change from socks

Would be tempted to get myself a kit also. But the danger would be that I'd start polishing everything! Hmmm.... wonder would my cage look good in silver, or maybe those Storm wheels or my bicycle :-)
You're right, polishing is definitely addictive I entended to just do the headers, but couldn't resist doing the rear sets, the gear change linkage and lever, the rear brake lever and both link pipes, so guy's you've been warned
