Skinning armors question

how do i make my armors look really like metal and not like my 5 yr old brother paint drawings when i say armor i mean full armor

Color the desired area the disired color. Just one flat color at first. It is also best to select the area being colored. Then, use burn and dodge tools to shade the edges of the armor to produce a 3d effect. Then use the dodge tool at 100% or somewhere close to 100% so make the armor look "shiney"

You'll need to get really detailed by maybe: adding rusted sections, add differen't tints of the armor's color, use the burn/lighten/etc. tools. Good luck and happy skinning. :)

thx
