Creating of metal textures?

I am new to GIMP and to the forum. I am in the learning curve and also read an excellent book Beginning GIMP by Akkana Peck!

I am working on a 3D object (a bus) and want to add a deep metal color on it! I don't know how to make a texture so I get that nice metal color! I am going to paint the bus red and some other color but I get lost in all effects etc! I would like someone to give me advice how I continue after adding a red color on the texture so I get it to look like a nice deep metal color!

Thank you!

Maybe it's just my bad English, but what is a deep metal color?

This is a short german article about metal coloring. I am sure that there are lots more on the internet.

Hi Alexandre! What I mean with deep metal color is! I want it to look that a metal is painted with thick color in several layers on each other Every layer is painted with same color and then you have that shi´ning as new cars have! nothing else!

Once you have your basic metal texture applied to a prim set Shininess to one of Low, Medium, or High on the Texture tab.
