Not exactly sure what your talking about, but I'm going to guess that the answer is specular maps.

He means bare metal, which isnt done in spec maps. The answer is there are two ways, photoreal and handpainting.
Photoreal is the widely used method, and the one I would suggest. Only one studio I know of who handpaints their bare metal, but if you want detail that is the way to go!

By photoreal do you mean cut (from real image) and paste (onto aircraft)? Now were would I get an image of bare metal from?

The main problem with this is, if your not painting AA or AM and you still need the aluminium that you are taking from the pictures, it can easily look very repetitive.

Takes many photos to make it so it doesn't look to repetitive.

I Like to create my own metal with photoshop, I never saw the point of getting reflections of the tarmac at 35000 feet on the plane.
