Akin to what Stan Rogers was referring to: if you are doing a small-run (of 1), with a design that isolates text, you can use a metal foil that is designed to adhere to laser toner. Basically, you place the foil on the already printed text and use an iron to heat it. This remelts the laser printer toner and causes the foil to stick to it. Some cases, you can attache the foil and then pass it through the laser printer as a blank page to use the toner fuser unit to remelt the toner.

Check out "Metallic Heat Transfer Foils". Make sure it is for home/design use, as opposed to offset printing or industrial use.
