Do you use anything to "fix" the sharpie so it doesn't run if you rub it (as one often does when transforming figures)? Since this is just the head maybe that's not a problem.
I was thinking of using future polish (which people seem to use to seal their customs) but in the end settled for a light wash of Tamiya Copper overtop of the sharpie, which was redder than I would like...but whatchagonnado, right? I tried Tamiya Gold (Gold Leaf maybe?) first, but that was too yellow...

Hmmmm... That sounds like what happens with my oil-based blue marker. If you look at Five-O, his rear window parts/back lower legs have a blue on them that is all drippy and doesn't look good (I purposely didn't take a pic of the back of vehicle mode because of that). There's nothing I can do about that, other than get a different based marker.
Maybe try and find a water-based Sharpie gold (I know they have silver), or maybe try some brand of acrylic metallic gold marker.
I hope that helps
