It's better to have two hands than one glove.
No need to print on gold. Print on the lightest metallic silver you can find. If you want excessive sparkle print on Aver Ultra Metallic. I do this all the time and it works very well. Your inks are translucent so whatever metallic content of the media comes right through.The lighter the colors the more metallic you see. The darker the less metallic.

Keep in mind that silver changes your white point and yellows will tend to be brassy. Just use a pale yellow for gold. If you do it right the results are nothing short of amazing.

I've used Avery Supercast Metallic White with great success.

I don't hate paint, I just overlay it.
No need to print on anything special nor paint or do any photoshop tricks. Just print it on your preferred vinyl and laminate with avery 6040 sparkle lam. DONE
