Does anyone have any preferred settings for a realistic/believable anodized aluminum? I've tried the "Blue Anodized" materials that comes with the PW material library, but when I change colors to a Champagne or Light Bronze, everything goes a little 'powdery' looking.
I'm finding the subtle shine the real challange.

This is the best setting I have come up with (shown in the attached image):

Color (for a clear anodizing)
207, 207, 207

Conductor
Amb- 0.00
Diff- 0.55
Spec- 0.90
SpSp- 0.65
Refl- 0.03
Tran- 0.00

If anyone can help, that would be a big help.
