jhocking -Thanks I will have a look at that in more detail. all i am trying to do is give my knight/soldier shiny armour in certain areas.
It s a handy technique if done right.
so the theory is I can give it a dull sheen if I used a grey area in the alpha texture, very shiny if the alpha is totally transparent.

the second method is not really suitable for what i want, though i may have to resort to that if the first doesn't work.
