As an old figures painter (and still like painting them), I've used the "GamesWorkshop" acrylics and they have a color "Chainmail". A wash of flat black (or black ink) for the depth and fill in recesses, then highlights with "Mithril" (basically silver) works for me. Though using a "Steel" in place of the "Chainmail" and "Silver" would work also. Hope this helps,
