Looks like you have painted some sort of broad grungy highlights in your diffuse. If you are going for "bleached" kind of look then I guess it's okay but it really messes with spec/gloss and does not help with material separation.
@alex3d haha yea cloud is a total wenis, thanks and ill totally post those flats soon. here is my first pass on the diffuse texture. kinda dull right now, I haven't started the spec yet. so I kinda differed from the gold metal in the original... cuz its kinda fugly.
