You can alos get tons of metallic effects with Boris's 3D text systems and Zaxwerks, a very fine AE plugin.

NOTE: I have not used either of these apps for many years. I just keep seeing them mentioned.

and don't forget to try the simple Bevel Edge effect. You can also make an outline matte, expand the mask,and apply light glints to it. Basically, all you need to do to simulate 3D gold text is create edge artifacts that have the same glint source but it moves in a different direction and might be less diffuse or less blurry.

also, one more thing, metallic letters actually reflect the surface they are sitting on and the sky which is whey the "chrome" presets for tools like Colorama have grays and blues.
