Subject: Metallic Colors .. how?

Yes, google will give you millions (literally) of hits. Type in 'photoshop metal' and see what you get. The thing is, there's no such thing as a metal colour. If you load up the Pantone metallic colours in PS you get a bunch of plain colours. What you need to make metal are highlights, reflections, scratches, etc. You can do that with bitmap textures or with PS's own built-in filters, layer styles, etc.Here's one extensive set of tuts:

Don't know if this will help or not. It's something I had saved but never got around to trying so don't know if it really works or not.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to create any type of metallic colors for photoshop. Does anyone have a good tutorial or an explanation of how I can go about it? Thanks!
Just enjoying the Vue. :0)
