is putting a "real" outside coating around the metal parts out of the
question? i got this effect with this code, but it made the paint look more
blue. making a layered texture, i couldn't quite get it to look like this.
but i didn't spend much time.


#declare layered_paint_1 =
texture

        pigment

                rgb <0.200, 0.000, 0.200>
        }
        finish{
               phong 2
               phong_size 10
               roughness .05
               specular 2
               metallic .9
               reflection .3
        }
        normal {bumps .3}
}

sphere {
        <0, 5, 0>,5
        scale <1, .2, 1>
        texture {layered_paint_1 scale .01}
}


sphere {
        <0, 5.05, 0>, 5.05
        scale <1, .2, 1>
        texture {
        pigment {
                rgbt <.9, .9, 9, .95>
        }
        finish {
                phong .75
                phong_size 130
                specular 1
                roughness .001
        }
    }
}
