I'm modelling a car in 3DSMax 5 now I need a realistic looking material for it. It should reflect a bit and the color should be a dark red.

Hope you could help with the settings.

Thx scorpion

Hey cool it looks better then my attempts to create a good one.

Cause it keeps its color and reflects nice.
Thx. Maybe there are better solutions, but this is enough, yet.
