Hi everyone,

I'm completely new to Carrara, so please don't laugh if I say something completely stupid.
Anyway I imported a Rhino model ( I made some time ago ) into Carrara 3.
Most shaders for my car I could easily find in the predefined shaders (or modify some shaders slightly).
But I couldn't find a shader for the carpaint (or a shader that comes close).
That's why I tried to create some carpaint myself, but I can't say it looks very realistic (it looks more like some sort of plastic)
So, does anyone know how to create realistic carpaint and/or what settings I should use ?
I also included the settings I used for the carpaint, which may make clear what I did wrong.

Any help is creatly appeciated.
