Quick answer - you can't. You can simulate with around 25% K but you really need metallic ink. Same goes for gold.

If you're thinking of incorporating a metallic into a four colour pic check out MetalFX, do a search for WISE actions for Photoshop as well.

Don't forget that metallics are opaque and you'd have to apply knockouts correctly if you're laying it down last.

(MetalFX metallics are designed to go down first)

Metal FX is great quality, but pricey.
