Thanks for that, Gilles.

I ended up using a bump_map image twice the size of the first.

I haven't had any trouble stacking pigments, but everytime I stack normals I
get problems. Is there a trick to applying more then a single bump_map to a
single surface?  I like my aluminum to look a little wavy, but other
features are best represented in the normal differently. Material map?
Hmmm,...
