Thanks Mike!!

finish {specular 0.7} in SGTex was screwing it up.

i fixed this by making a thin section of Chevron7 with white pigment.
so that Chevron6 would not show through.

that way I could keep Chevron6 as is.

rendering the sucker again but will put the rest of the gate in the picture.
Will post it later today
