okay, right off the bat, you need to lower your bump values and adjust your reflectivity. As Prime is based off a Freightliner tractor trailer, my recommendation is that you scour the internet for photographs to use as a reference base. Also, if you can, I would highly recommend getting the lighting setup finished BEFORE doing much work with the shaders. Most people tend to forget that lighting plays a critical role in how a model will look and how the shaders will be effected. The easiest way to achieve a simple "realistic" lighting setting, is open up Mental Ray (if you're using Maya or Max), scroll down to the "Environment" tab (should be the last tab), and press the "Create Physical Sun and Sky" (think that's the name) button. By default, you'll get a directional light (the sun) that will be pointing down straight at your model and will approximiate daytime settings, though you can always adjust those. If you're using Lightwave, Draven could probably give you some tips regarding the technical stuff. Other Max and Maya users may have different solutions. Keep on truckin!
Thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated. I have edited my thread and added a few updated pics of my model. Any better?
