I like Testors enamels, and use a lot of MM, but I find the regular old enamel gold- found in the small square bottles- is a great gold. It is hard to get it really glossy, but then a glossy finish is hard anyway. That Testors gold is the same old stuff I have used for forty or fifty years, and really a gold gold. It also brushes nicely for small detail parts and carvings on old ships. It is available in spray cans too.
