If you are using iray, and have applied the Iray Uber base shader (or if it was already applied) look at the Metallic Flakes settings for the surfaces.

The Diigitals

Metallic flakes for iray is best, flake size of 0.1 and above with a density of 0.2-0.1 is a good starting point.

You can use a black and white mask in the metalic flakes strength channel to limit it to the areas you want (white is on, black is off)

lasagnaman

how do you use the black and white mask in daz studio?   thanks

If you go to your account, product library, type in the name of the product, on the bottom you should have a download for the templates.  Download that and open the top's template in a 2D editing program (even MS paint would work if you don't want a fancy gradient.)  You shoud be able to basically tell what's what with a shirt, if in doubt you can draw rainbow dots all over it in different places and load that into the base color channel so you can see where things are.  Once you know where the shoulders are paint that area white and the rest black.  Once you have the black and white jpg saved you load it into the metalic flake strength channel in the surface tab (click the little triangle in the square to the left of the channel name, then browse)

I didn't know how to do any of this.  Thank you for your clear instructions @fisty.
