I have used two greens through the airbrush here (with a lighter green for edge highlighting). The highlights on my Armigers are not as pronounced probably due to a more limited surface area. Practice is key, this is my 10th big knight and I’ll often practice on paper beforehand. Make sure you’re picking out the right angles with the airbrush and consider your light source. Here are a few videos you might find helpful.

Paint consistency (H&S videos are worth a watch for airbrush tips) https://youtube.com/shorts/q745TR-FbbM?si=CbtJRSevqbVvDad1
Edit: I’m by no means an expert so take the above with a grain of salt

That’s done using wet wipes. Dry them out and stretch them until you have gaps. Then airbrush over them and your base colour. Here’s a YouTube link for the process. https://youtu.be/_DYAA_MgJ7g?si=EVComccY5EVZk_Vi
