metallic look, candy apple purple

[spaceagent-9]

I want to make a Klingon d-7 I drew up and shaded purple look like 60's metallic paint. I don't really want to over lay a sheet of if and erase all the flash again. is there a way to recolor the parts to have that ''look''? I will post them here if you want to take a crack at it and show me. I have ms paint and paint.net only. kind of limited.
thanks!

What about printing the pages on metallic paper?

Basically, I would turn up the contrast, and each part of it that curves should have a highlight.

the metallic paper would be good if I could get a nice silver purple instead of a lilac or dark purple

 

[spaceagent-9]

just tried the contrast idea, part of it looked good, but the rest just turned pink

You could end up with some pretty pissed off Klingons, then again, a few might go for it.

Especially those who like prune juice more than blood wine.

yes the pink bloods, they die well. Q_PLAH!

You could also say, they come from another mirror universe... The Klingon Party Universe! Their ships feature flashing neon lights and their main weapon is a disruptor boombox.
