isn't there a way to get just solid matalic colors?
its not really that hard is it?
as in when u paint them on they look like gold and silver(chrome)
gradient tool. look in the tool options palette (turn on if not showing).
click the arrow to the right of the gradient shown in the option bar
the pop down panel has a pull down arrow in the top right.
this arrow should give you the menu choice to load, append, reset gradients, and the default install of Elements should include additional gradient families at the bottom of this list, including "metals".
if you don't like the basic gradient metals (they're very basic),
you can make your own gold and silver textures and use them as patterns.
methods of creating 'aged gold' can be found here or here
please note that Elements may not support all the filters used here.

If you are talking about actual Metallic Spot colors, like what Pantone number it would be then grab a Pantone book or ask a local printer. I do know that PMS 877 is Metallic Gold. I think all of the Metallic Spot colors are in the 870's range. PhotoShop doesn't always show all of the Pantone colors. Good Luck.

well guys... heres what i tried... What do u guys think?
(hand drawn of course ^^ then scanned and colored on photoshop)
