Do you mean "paint with brushes"? The tutors only tell how to "creat" metall, not how to "paint" it.
I'm not able to give you a good tutorial but i have made a coloring this time where i have paint metall, so perhaps it helps 
Original Lineart by Feng Zhu (www.artbyfeng.com): http://www.duracel.de/ablage/art/colorings/feng-orig.jpg

If you speak about metall-painting like this, i can give you some tipps(of course some professional painter can give you better tipps  ) |
