So, what do we need to colour metallic things.
1. an Object.
2. Colour black 100% (opacity 23%)
3. basic colour 23% Grey(#727272).
4. first shadow (3 layers of different greys, reduce opacity for different results)
5. deep shadow (several layers of black)
6. highlights
23% opacity white painted on many times (edges) or three to four times
for the reflection in the middle.

7. the smudge tool
of course , you shouldn't forget to cut off the unnecessary edges
pressure 50%. Use the smudge tool to blur the colours and make them blend.
The bright white highlights should curve like the object's edges do! (just look below).
