Hmm, never heard of it... But you can find a couple of TDs here that can help you with custom builds, plating, GEN parts, etc.:

You’ll probably find a couple here that can help you as well:

Which mods are available is something you’ll have to spend some time reading up on yourself.

It sounds like you’re mixing up the “gain weight” (tungsten) models from QF, with gold plating.
Tungsten and gold plating are not the same.

You can buy an upgraded “gain weight” version of certain models.

You can't talk to the factories, you buy through a dealer. Trusted Dealers are dealers, they sell what the factories offer. They don't take custom orders. And the factories do (limited capacity) mass production, not bespoke one-offs.

If you're interested in getting a gold rep re-plated, simply buy the rep, then find somewhere local (ie not China... well, unless you live in China) to do the replating. Same with movement upgrades.
