i'm making a jaguar s type (the old one) and need a shiney metal surface for the bumber and grill, thanks in advance:p

Use a mental ray DGS material (assuming your rendering with mental ray) or assign a reflection map to a high refectivity material.

Make it a DGS material with a HDRI in the back ground...

Check this tutorial, its perfect for ya...

when i used the DGS material on an object i could not see it when it rendered

Do you have a HDRI map in place?

If yes, try decreasing the specularity...sometimes if its too high it is so reflective it looks invisible at the edges.

oh and just to cover all the bases, make sure you're rendering with mental ray ;)

that's why i could not see it,cause i was using software
