It doesn't seem to work very well with phong. I guess the phong
highlights don't work very well alongside the fake highlights that are
already painted on the image map. To get it to work with phong I think
that the texture map would have to be recreated without highlights and
there'd probably need to be a normal map 

One thing that does help a little is turning up the lighting so that the
painted highlights become fully white rather than grey, but then the
dark parts of image tend to get a bit too bright.
