bare metal is reflective, and blue is the color of the ski, there is also grey lines too. take a look at kweasas metal KI84 at Ahskins.

Im not an expert at this, but here is an example of how a tent of blue can help with that metal appearance.

Since it's a full metal bird, wouldn't it work better if instead of putting blue tint in the skin itself, to change the materials.txt to add slightly more bluish shine? That way, you only see the blue highlighting when you're at an angle that would reflect appropriately like the sun.

No offense, but I actually like the metal color of Raptor's before picture better than the after.

I might just be nuts though =)
