for dark eldar I would recommend painting them black and doing weapon gubbinz and little bits and pieces in gold if youre commited to it.
of course you can do it if you really want to]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/896999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/896999.page GMT
There are ways of doing a mostly gold scheme and still make them look good though. I think these guys look decent (sorry, not the greatest pic) : http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JsKZ1YCU6Z4/R5f41WjA7jI/AAAAAAAAAmM/wa8Qr8r4X5w/s400/P1000494.JPG .

You could also do as you said and only do an honor guard type squad in all gold and do the rest in a complimentary color like red with gold trim or something. You may also find it looks better to paint just a few details gold and leave the rest another color(again, red, black, etc).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/897017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/897017.page GMT NMM. You could slap on some metallics and dull them with washes but I'm not sure how well that will turn out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/897053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/897053.page GMT

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/225318.page
I reckon that you might be able to get away with Tamiya gold spray followed by gryphonne sepia (or equivalent) wash.
Then pick your colours for accents, shoulder pads, guns, hair/skin etc. (With a bit of planning you could spray these bits black/white before assembly)
Grey/Urban basing would make the gold pop.
Hope this helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/903958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/903958.page GMT
Gold may work quite well when I think about it. Base coat it shining gold, give it a wash of ogryn then highlight with more gold and then a bit of chainmail. It's a quick job that will look alright.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/904026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/904026.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/904034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/904034.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/905690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/905690.page GMT

But obviously armor wouldn't be made of straight 24 karat gold. It is much to soft to offer much protection. So maybe a chipped paint effect could be used as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/906468.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251804/906468.page GMT Going with a classic metallic look may work, however, if your willing to go the extra 1,000 miles try painting them non-metallic gold.
One on the eavy metal team (joe) is amazing at this, and he wrote a tutorial on painting non metallics, ill try and dig it out for you.

Gold has to be done right or it will look really tacky. For example the old BA SC in 2nd and 3rd Edition. Here is a link to my AgeofEgos gold marines:
