You made me try to create a metall texture, here is what I came up with, 
perhaps it can give you some ideas.

camera{
location <0.5,0.5,-1>
look_at 0.5
}

#declare metall=texture{
pigment{rgb <0.5,0.7,1>}
finish{
ambient 0 diffuse 0.3 brilliance 4
specular 0.9 roughness 0.01 metallic 1.3
reflection{0.7,1 exponent 0.9 falloff 2 metallic 0.9}
irid{0.1 thickness 0.7 turbulence 0.2}
}}

union{
#declare R=seed(41056);
#local Z=0;
#while (Z<80)
cylinder{<rand(R),rand(R),rand(R)><rand(R),rand(R),rand(R)>,rand(R)/30}
#local Z=Z+1;
#end
texture{metall}
}
light_source{<2,1,-1.5>*1e3 rgb 2}

sky_sphere{pigment{agate scale 2}}
