I came to the conclusion that metallic finishes should have zero ambient 
through my own experimentation. The metallic textures from the various 
includes looked just wrong to me. I started by commenting out the 
ambient. I got a massive improvement. Then, I tested with an explicit 
zero ambient and got the best, most realistic, result.

When I first posted about it, I was unaware of Clipka's position on that 
subject.

The metallic finishes from metals.inc have been made to look acceptable 
in an empty scene against a black background, and that's the only 
situation where they look somewhat correct.
