Default Need help finding gold paint for my race car models

So I bought 20 1/43 models of my car, so far I have One.

The builder claims he can't find anyone to do the metallic gold on the models.
A company on Germany did this one then they flaked.

The models are of my Corvette Daytona Prototype.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I offer this suggestion only if you are grasping at straws, because I have no idea if this suggestion is viable. You might call a place called electric dreams, a 1/32 scale slot car place that sells limited production stuff, perhaps he knows a guy that knows a guy.

When my son was little we played slot cars and this guy was offering paid advice on collecting 1/32 slot cars for investment, so he must know something about toys.

If nothing works out, just paint the big car black and lose the prototype, no stress. Must be quite a machine to be around.

For the body work why not try gold bare metal foil? Readily available on-line and pretty easy to apply. It is the only thing that will give that effect.
