didnt tried it yet, but one suggestion for v1.2 would be a 2nd skin map that determines the ammount of the chrome look and blends the standard maping with the chrome shader. Kind of a region map (opacity map for the shader effect).
Imagine making a knight with a helmet where only the helmet should be chrome looing.
