Pluginless Chrome effects

Well, I seem to get much more controllable results with a complex gradient than I do with the shade curve tool. Having said that I can't get the results that either John (Covoxer) or Bill (Soquili) gets with the shade curve. Would either of you like to do a small tutorial ..... Please.

Just as an aside, Thought that I would see how gold came out .........Yes Gary, I know its a bit greener .... It just looked really wrong !!
