Well actually the reflection is from a smooth gloss layer over the metallic
effect. Just like real cars the reflection would be perfectly sharp.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm trying a radiosity version at the moment, and it
really doesn't gain much for a simple scene like this (well, apart from a huge
increase in the render time!). If I want to use the paint in more complex
environments I might use radiosity.
