M I thought it didnt matter where you put an ambient light as it lights all things in the scene equally regardless of occlusion? I mite be wrong but I think that's what it does.

Roach105 go with what M said use ansiotropic and not full black, you can then adjust the specular highlights to get some interesting effects (Sorry we just covered ansiotropic lighting models in a lecture and now i think they're kinda cool) user added image

tried to fix up the system material and lighting. I tried the anistropic stuff but could not get a decent result. added a speckle texture to blinn urface instead.

wow this is bringing back memories!!! the controller looks great! Is it just me or is the texture on the red part slightly skewed? seems like there is a problem with the parallel lines or something.

I donlt really get what I did wrong with the red. It's even diffrent colors from the other red. I have checked it in photoshop and all the reds are the same RGB.

it will probably be your lighting that is causing a change in tone. Check your lighting and see if that makes any difference. Also check the materials attributes, if the reds are on different materials then they may be rendered differently.
