Can't see your attachment. But if you have an airbrush the best gold you can use is Alclad II gold.
And I use a 2 part epoxy primer that automotive grade. You can see the colour of it in my painting thread

Looks like you might want some type of gold/chrome paint that looks like C3P0 I haven't used any paints like this but I'm pretty sure Tamiya or Alclad II would make something that would match..

Take a polycarbonate
it literally paints on anything and creates a really smooth surface I use it for everything XD.
Take a polycarbonate

just a question.. in that tamiya pic it shows that it contains acetone.. isn't that used to melt/smooth out 3d prints? then.. is that a good thing or bad thing? lol i would test it out first....
I don't think it's the kind of acetone that is meant t take paint off x)! I mean I've been using this tamiya paint, for plastic, aluminium, steel, glass, it just painted fine ^^

Whenever I chrome paint something, I always spray a gloss black first and it looks great. I'm not sure if that works with a mirror gold too though. Anyone else know?
