Yeah, if it's made out of Au, $300 extra is a bargain, but it's probably too heavy to really ride.

I guess eventually the price of the oil slick/rainbow/jetfuel may come down but at the moment it is a fairly exclusive process, especially on frames. There are an abundance of places that will powder and spray frames, but the electroplating process for slick/rainbow/jetfuel can only be done in a certain places, added to the fact that it has to be chromed first.
For an old school bmx exhibition earlier this year we had a limited edition Colony/Prody frame along with some forks, bars and cranks sent back to taiwan to have a rainbow finish applied to it. As it was a one off it cost $850aud just for the finish.

Seems like way to much work just to have that affect plus the added cost on it isn't really worth it in my opinion.

I agree but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be offered. Plenty of dudes are stoked on it.
