This question is probably better suited for Painter's Pitstop. However, most Ironman statues utilize a transparent red over a metallic gold paint. This would be a tough repair, especially if you are unfamiliar with touch-up work. Even for an experienced painter it can be a challenge. It is difficult to see exactly what the situation is in this low-res image, but short of repainting the entire statue, I would probably: fill and sand the cracked area with a good quality putty, mask the adjoining gold section, spray as close a match to the gold as I could mix (feathering it into the surrounding area), spray a matching transparent red over the gold (feathering it as well) to blend into (but not darken) the existing red, & clearcoat to eliminate flat edges around the repair. This is all assuming that the existing paintjob is transpartent red over gold as mentioned above. If this is not the case, if you have more questions or a better photo, or if you would like my help in the repair feel free to PM me.
Good Luck,
