Nice.
As a macro, you can pass the materials as parameters.
As an object, you set a few materials before placint it in your scene.

You may play with some normal patterns, like radial, to simulate the 
ribbed shape of the top or the oil container. Most of the time, it 
should be more than enough, and will save on the rendering time.
Here, normal radial frequency 20 scallop_wave should do a descent job.


As for posting multiple images, it can't be done when using the web 
interface. It can only accept a single attachment at a time. If you add 
a second image, it will replace the previous one.
You can use an image manipulation application to stitch 2 images into a 
single image and post the resulting compound image.

If you use an e-mail client, or a dedicated news reader, then you can 
attach multiple files/images.
