metal luster effect question

[JamesMK]

The basic setup shouldn't be very complicated - you'll need reflection with some Fresnel falloff, add subtle blur (dispersion) and/or anisotropy, maybe a texture with some hairline criss-crossing scratch pattern to modulate the reflection - then it's all about the environment, typically a HDRI. The exact features available being dependent on what renderer you're using of course.

After that, it's down to the fine tuning.
