I have a question about part
 
Part No: 90392pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Spartan Warrior with Dark Red Crest Pattern
* 
90392pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Spartan Warrior with Dark Red Crest Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
Under known colours it is listed in black and metallic gold. I have this part,
but in fact it is not metallic gold but tan (inside) and the outside is only
printed metallic gold. Is this the regular version that shoul be listed under
metallic gold?

I’d say it’s the regular version: Metallic Gold isn’t a plastic colour, it’s
coated on another colour (generally Tan).
On the other hand, I thought the coating always cover all the part’s surface
(but I don’t have many parts in MG, and none hollow/concave like a hat/helmet).

It makes sense not to paint the inside of a helmet if the way they do it allows
for that.

Yes, some chrome parts, such as this torso are similar:

 
Part No: 973pb1126c01  Name: Torso SW TC-14 with Blue, Red and White Wires Pattern / Chrome Silver Arms / Light Bluish Gray Hands
* 
973pb1126c01 (Inv) Torso SW TC-14 with Blue, Red and White Wires Pattern / Chrome Silver Arms / Light Bluish Gray Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

It is the base colour inside (which is OK) but also if you move the arms from
their down position (much worse!). The paint shadow shows that they coat the
torsos after the arms are inserted.
