How do you make a metalic effect for any colour in GIMP?

Please elaborate on "metallic effect".

When I mean metallic effect...

I mean making a colour shine

Shining ingame? Then you'd have to create an envmap and apply it to a model using MshEx. (search around for both tearms. MshEx is a tool that's created by RepSharpshooter)

i think i don't mean something like shining effects...
i can't explain what he mean, may i can fix it with an example:

Umm....you want to take a base color and give it metallic details?

Well, I can't help you much, sorry, I do all my texturing via any good texture I can find on google images.

That lovely texture was provided by ?Wolor? and colored by me using colorize.

Well, if you're editing an existing skin, which I assume you are, create a new, transparent layer and paint over it with white at an opacity, or copy and paste part of the skin into a new layer, edit brightness/contrast, and soften the edges.
