Can I ask what you used to color it?
Please and thank you ^.^
For scanning pieces with gold paint, I usually merge two images: one image taken with a frontal lighting (which can either be from a scanner or a photograph), and a second one photographed with a strong side-lighting. From that second one, I extract only the golden hues on photoshop (easy to do with the "select color range" command), place it on a layer on top of the first "full" image, and then merge the two layers. You can make re-inforce or dampen the golden hue by just adjusting the transparency of the "golden hues" layer. Usually it works fine, but you have to adjust the two images precisely so that they overlap perfectly. You may want to give it a try, it does work most of the time, and saves these wonderful golden reflexions which are too often lost in a simple scan.
Have a nice day,
