here is an exsample of one part of the c130 paint kit with alpha , spec and spec alpha
main painted file C130_1_T metal with red strip now i only wanted the metal parts to shine
the alpha shows white for parts i dont want to shine and gray fo the rest
c130_1_T_alpha
now you add the alpha to the paint file when rendering in to dds format
next if the aircraft uses spec you can add a little blue tint to the metal look but this time on none reflective parts i turned them gray and the tint area blue
C130_1_T_spec
now the spec alph would look some thing like this to compleat the look this time you will see it is almost black in some places this color on the spec alph helps push the tint through
C130_1_T_spec_alpha
now add the spec alph to the spec the same way you would with alpha to paint
add the new spec dds to your paint and see how it looks
end resolt is on this page http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1296511438
any problems just ask
