The shiny metal effect is down to specularity mapping. Until recently a skinner could only alter the overall specularity of the whole skin using the material file. So he could make the whole thing shinier or duller. Now by using a specularity map it is possible to alter the shininess of each individual pixel of the skin. So in this case I was able to make the bare metal areas much shinier than the painted areas.

I noticed that, that looks excellent!
