I am a pretty good repainter, and I would like to learn how to make my repaints reflective, can anyone help me with this?
I am using DXTbmp.

That's fairly easy. Black is mirror finish and white is no shine whatsoever.
Are you meaning that you would like to know how to create a decent reflection map?

I think so, how do I add an alpha in DXTbmp, I don't want to mess it up!

When you are in DXTBmp, open the main texture. Now click on "Alpha" and then "Import Alpha Channel". Navigate to the correct file and select it. The alpha channel file will appear in the small window in the upper righthand corner. Now go to "File-->Save As-->Extended Bitmap" and select the appropriate file format. This is usually DXT3 format, but could be a number of options.
