Try playing with your gradient tool. I know people commonly simulate metals by having bands of lighter "reflection" merging into darker color bands.

There's a tutorial on here - can't remember who wrote it - that shows how to do a beaten gold look that looks pretty sweet. Check in the Tutorials section.

I know how to do that, and I can make text look like gold, its just gradients on your strokes fill and then on a inside path fill... but I was hoping for something more realistic... Ill check out this beaten gold tut!

Yeah, anything more realistic is beyond my knowledge at the moment.
