Okay here's my version, inspired by Tor's. It's the same principal but the
colours are based on paint I've seen on a lot of TVRs.

It has a dome of light sources, like I've been using for my other HDR renders,
so the metallic shading and glitter effects are in effect. But I'm lazy so mine
is just using the camera's direction for the slope_map, not the true vector from
the camera to every point. The error isn't obvious but it's there if you know
what to look for.

(P.S. etiquette question: should I have started a new thread with this message?)
