Chrome and clear-coats are handled via an environmental reflection texture. Asobo's original formula had too much on some things, making them look chrome/silver/metal. EG: Valkyrie's muffler in original FUEL looks silver/chrome. It's actually a carbon-fiber muffler with heavy clear-coat on it. With chrome'ing algorithm tweaked, we start to see more details on vehicles.. like the carbon fiber of the muffler, smudges and imperfections on chrome metal mufflers, spots on cars where the clear-coat paint has chipped off, etc. Very minor details, but they all add up.
