"Can a vehicles bumpers be "painted" with a chrome/shiney/reflective finish?"

I think the best way to do that in Gimp is with 'environment maps' or 'e-maps'.

racer-x posted a pretty impressive chrome here:

Wow, thats pretty impressive Chrome. I think I am trying to run before learning to walk tho, so will have to leave the chrome until I have grasped the concepts a bit better.

Thanks all, for the advice and links, good learning and reading material. I have attached the .psd template I promised earlier which was originally meant to be a rally car. I am not yet familiar with decals etc, as tbh, thats low on my list. I really just want to have a go at making this car a "stock" look as much as possible, just to get the hang of painting and practice using the selection tools as advised earlier



This is only a jpg as I cant seem to upload a psd to any image hosting site or here
