Frankly I don't know if I'm writing this message in the right forum section,to be honest I'm a bit lost , please forgiuve me I'm not use to ask that kind of thing.
I'm looking for glossy (or shiny) plastic patterns, on the Internet , preferably big sized, (for recoloring).Unfortunately I don't find anything yet, it's been a while I'm seaching by myself ....please does somebody know where can I find some?
It's not a hurry request as usual.
Thanks a lot for the help you'll bring.

Well from experience: you can put a shiny texture on a recolor but it will not show up the way you want on your recolor. You will have to do some editing to the mesh itself in order to get it that shiny, like a lot of Cassy's meshes do? And I have no clue how to do it to be honest so I am no help there.

Yes I have noticed that, it is the mesh. I had some unshiny ? textures put on a shiny mesh and they still came out shiny..

Yep, just like Petra and Elv said, you have to change the values of the material definition (TXMT), usually by setting "stdMatEnvCubeMode" to reflection and adding a "stdMatEnvCubeTextureName" line with it's own value. This will give you a heavy shine, but you can also change the other values of the TXMT to make it a more subtle shine.

Here are some explanations at MTS2: here and here
Also, you're welcome to take a look at my meshes, or even clone them to help you ^_^

I'm sorry for my late reply my sweeties,I knew I could count on you for explaining me everything I need. I want to thank you very much for your precious help.So as I understood, I've to create myself this kind of texture changing some values to make them shiny or glossy,because they don't exist anywhere, that's the reason why I googled for many months at odd moments without success.I didn't believe these textures are photoshopped,I'm a begginer in inforgraphics .
A special thank to you Cassandre for linking the tutorial I hope I'll manage to do them with Gimp, a lot of tutorials are written for Photoshop.At least I'll study your meshes to see how you did I don't recolor any of them atm.
