Well metals are very hard to achieve with the phong lightning / gouraud shading combination as they produce rather a plastic feeling. Well I would say try to implement Cook&Torrance metal-shading at least on per Vertex level, it shouldn't be that hard. Though you have to disable the normal lightning calculation and do it yourself of course.
