It is too plain - not enough color and the front end looks like someone just took a saw and chopped it off. I am not saying it is bad, but work on it and it would be pretty awesome!

your best bet to get the correct color is to take a picture of something with bare metal then using gimp to get the right hex address then doing what you normally do with some variations of color

You checked out mine Cobra? If you like it, I just give it to you. Welcome to the club of the ones who banged their head on the wall in search of "the effect".

Go for subtle on the metal effect. Right now it looks more like a diamond with all those panel facets. Small variations in the color along with thinner panel lines would really make it look good.

As for PSP7, I use it all the time and regularly come up with stuff like this...
