Depending on the engine, different approaches are necessary.

Thanks so much for the feedback and help. I’m happy with how the metal came out in the end.

However, I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the noise, as some of the parts look a bit grainy.

Just a note, to produce the shiny streaks that run transversally you need to turn on Tangent Shading for the metal material under Material->Shading.
