I think this can give you the approach to making this effect:
In your case you will drop the green and go with:
- Prime Black
- Basecoat Vallejo Air Steel
- Drop the Green, just apply more coats of Tamiya Clear Blue (or their Gunzee analog Mister Hobby).
If you do not own an airbrush, the guy have a hairbrush tutorial as well. Althou you will never be able to get the Apple Blue effect with hairbrush (or at least I think so, there could be a way)
Alternatively you can go for Mig Metallics (This video says it hairbrush really well too if you don't have an airbrush, althou my experience with their golds begs to differ a lot):

Would have thought a base of a graduated airbrushed silver then the Tamiya clear blue would do it nicely and give you a bit of a pre-shade with it.
If you want harder highlights, highlight the silver before you put the blue on, have done this with red pretty well, the blue should work nicely as well
