Dunno about metallic gold plastic material, but I found some people on ebay selling thin brass sheets. I'm planning on attempting to make a gold pickguard out of some brass, but I'd rather look for some in a scrapyard first. Ebay or some online supplier may be more convenient though. Anyway, I've seen gold vinyl pickguards for sale, but not just sheets of material.

For a P-bass?
Here's one I just saw on ebay, not vinyl though
http://cgi.ebay.com/FENDER-57ri-P-BA...d=p3286.c0.m14
This place, http://www.pickguards.com/ has a couple different gold pickguards.
And this place, http://www.wdmusic.com/ has some different gold pickguard material sheets available and ready made pickguards.
Hope this helps.
