you mean like this? This was done via EyeCandy's Impact set - chrome.
However, as Patti has mentioned, Jeff has a tutorial over at unleash.com. 
Jeff's tutorial, however, is far less expensive than the EyeCandy filters 
and will teach you some valuable techniques.

Karen,
This is what you want -- it's worth every penny (and more) of the $10 
you'll spend.

Here is a brief description of platinum.

Standard state: solid at 298 K
Colour: greyish white
Classification: Metallic
Availability:
platinum is available in many forms including foil, sheet, wire, 
insulated wire, "evaporation slugs", gauze, powder, sponge, and mesh.
Small and large samples of platinum foil, sheet, wire, insulated wire 
and mesh (and platinum alloys in wire and insulated wire form)
can be purchased from Advent Research Materials via their web catalogue.
Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum together 
make up a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGM).



Platinum is a beautiful silvery-white metal, when pure, and is malleable 
and ductile. It has a coefficient of expansion almost equal to that of 
soda-lime-silica glass,
and is therefore used to make sealed electrodes in glass systems.

The metal does not oxidise in air. It is insoluble in hydrochloric and 
nitric acid, but dissolves when they are mixed as aqua regia, forming 
chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6),\
an important compound. It is corroded by halogens, cyanides, sulphur and 
alkalis. Hydrogen and oxygen gas mixtures explode in the presence of 
platinum wire.

Have your client send a shot of what platinum should look like :-)

To print? View on screen?

There is probably a dozen or so that could be used from UFX X3.
