use this product called ginsam its wht u use to make that chrome effect as for that gold plating its basically impossible to make that effect but if u want to try and get close to it just use ginsam its like this mettalic powder that has this very very shiny finish to it

The process Bandai uses to make gold is first chrome plate the runners, the they spray a transparent yellow over it.
I ordered Alclad II Chrome to do this. But you will need an airbrush to apply this. In the past I’ve used a silver and applied it with a brush. Then a transparent yellow over it.
The silver I used was an enamel which you can polish, for a better sheen. It is made by Humbrol. The paint number is: 27002
The transparent yellow I used was made by Tamiya. Paint number X-24
The only disadvantage for this is, if you use a too thick of yellow coat it will not look not goldish anymore.
And of course if you have an airbrush you could dilute the transparent yellow for spraying through your airbrush. Alclad is lacquer based, so an acrylic on top is not a problem at all.
Hope this helps you out. If I left something out or you need some more information, please ask
