...well ?

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science...

Yes. I would add the same texture to the specular  and reflection channels. Galvanized metal tends to have variable ref/spec. Otherwise pretty good.

Hm, I have never seen reflective galvenised steel. Thanks for the reply. There is a spec channel though, or a "variable highlight" anyway :D

Maybe give it a tiny bump with the same material to get the layers effect.

yes, and I have seen shiny galvanized metal  
roofing metal  stove pipes, all shiny
I have never seen or felt bumps on galvanized sheet metal. My experience is primarily with sheet metal for buildings and roofs, etc., nice and smooth.

 Congratulations: A skillfully created texture.

Only possible modification: Make the colour more 'silvery'.......appears too 'grey/green' to me ( but I agree it should not be 'reflective' in nature).
