Hi,
 
the metallic lustre can be explained as follows :
 
Sodium is electropositive element. When light falls on it, free electrons absorb it and emit them. Thus a bright metallic lustre is observed. In sodium sample, a lot of electrons are free and hence a lot of light is absorbed and emitted leading to a bright lustre.
 
Hope you have got it !!!
