I consider myself a pretty good painter but I cannot for the life of me fogure out how to make my gold look good. Ive been using Auric Armor Gold and then washing with Agrax brcause I think it looks better than a sepia wash. After that I go back to Auric. This works fine on areas that have actual depth but on flat surfaces I cannot figure out how to get a dang highlight going.
I tend to highlight gold with silver, personally. Or if I'm trying to do nmm, I'll use off-white. Recently I used a sort of half metallic, half non-metallic technique on a couple of models. It's hard to describe, but this video explains it pretty well. Skip to the gold droid, obviously!

GW has several tutorials on their YouTube channel, depending on the exact shade of gold you're looking for.
