I am trying to setup a material for satin lacuered wood, but the results sofar do not look realistic. It has a strange metalic sheen (mostly visible on the left side).

I used a glossy material with a diffuse, roughness and bump map from Arroway. The settings are now pretty much the default values. How should I imporove on this?

I have used Maxwell before. There you need to use several BSDF layers mixed to get the right look. So, do I use a mix material in Octane in the same way I do in Maxwell?
