talk to Dan, I think it can be done, but am torn between which colors to use. . .

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

White Base

Black
Warm Red - or orange shade red of choice

Highlite White

I would not worry about the very small amount of blue in the metal.

Base light beige 200 mesh. (305 mesh on top colors).  People look to the lower s mesh these days but for sim process, I'm looking for blending and not coverage. You can do S mesh on just the base.

Old gold

It can be done in different ways and still look good so yes, you can do this.

We could print this in 1985 on wood screens.  Unless you use a set that is 20+ n/m out from each other then yes.  i would also suggest double bevel squeegees
