I never just use one color gold. But I like a more bronze shade in the shadows and yellow gold for highlights.
ALL YOUR KAIJU MODEL KITS ARE BELONG TO US!!

I handbrush my kits. So what I do first is mix Testors enamel gold with Testors black chrome trim to make a very dark blackish/gold color and paint the kit that color getting it in all the nooks and crannies. Then I drybrush regular Testors gold over that. It usually takes a few rounds of drybrushing to get the gold highlights to where I want them.

It is a very time consuming process but I'm happy with it.

So I guess the short answer is I use Testors enamel gold. :)
