Merci, Nope. It is just a mix function in the specular channel. Two different shade of gray , the mix value is driven by a procedural

it's called clamptexture and it only passes values between min and max parameters.

Can you elaborate a little more on this setup Radiance? Was messing around with this setting but its not giving me the results I desire.
Was trying glossy/spec/clamp texture-->input/turbulance. This what you had in mind?
then messing around with settings.

Radiance are we ever going to be able to stack up reflections?
In order to do a proper metallic paint you need a very blurry metal shader with a shiny gloss coat on top. Those metallic flecks show the problem perfectly, especially at the glancing angles where the fresnel of the gloss coat would take over and you wouldn't see the flecks anymore.

In maya I usually do this by just piping the out color of one shader into the diffuse of another (along with some trickery here and there).
