Metal Texture

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

Hey folks!

I'm still trying to finish my orc slave driver.
Now i am at the stage where i want to start texturing the metal parts, therefore i searched for metal texturing tutorials.
Though somehow they all leave a step out and i dont know what to do, or it looks like blurry colors or anything, but not metal...


So, plz help me and give me tips on how to texture this properly!

You might want to show what you got so far?

It's quite basic, as far as I'm concerned. Give the object you're doing a gray color and do some highlights on it with white and use a less opaque black when shading things. And yes, you might want to show what you're working on at the moment. Would be easier to explain things.
