Maybe material_maps?
What you really need here is a finish_map, actually, but it doesn't exist
(yet).
Anyway...  You should certainly try to put the shiny textures on the bottom.
Or what about this: you have two shiny textures on top of each other.  Try
to make the lower texture not shiny, and the top one shiny.  I think this
should work. (Because the lower texture gets shiny by the top one...
Hmmm... Sounds confusing...)
