The bolts (screws?) do look a bit melted, but I don't know if modeling 
or a normal is at fault for that.

The metal looks a little like brass plating or something (although it's 
a little bright/pale for brass). I wouldn't say they're necessarily 
*too* shiny. Reflections look good.

If you're going for photorealism here, you'll want a more realistic 
surface for them to rest on.
