So we will begin by creating a new material. I'm going to drop it on those objects, and we can drop it on just the top hierarchy here and it'll be applied to the inner, middle, and outer. So that's not looking too good. What we need to do is do some work. Let's come into the material and we'll call this Shiny Black. What we'll do is change our color channel to be a lot darker.
