I think that the most recent metal finish that DW is using, such as the finish on the AA MD-82 and the AA 777 is the most realistic look going. To me it looks alot more lifelike than the Real metal finish that GJ uses. Its hard to replicate the correct unpainted look of aluminum without using some sort of artificial finish, and GJ real metal is stainless steel, which has a totally different hue than aluminim. I actually think that the GJ chrome finish looks more realistic than the real metal. Just personal opinion though.
