Try toggling each of your graphics settings to low to see if that gets rid of the glossy sheen.
That really does look sort of strange... Also, what driver are you using? I'd recommend sticking with 169.xx drivers till you get the problem worked out, possibly 169.25. From laptopvideo2go.com (if you don't know how, read the sticky at the top of this forum on updating video drivers from laptopvideo2go.com). -
Looks like it could be caused by having HDR enable on a card with drivers that don't particularly like it, try turning it off, since HDR can cause these problems if your gfx card/drivers don't like them

i tried turning hdr still no hope
But i run cs:s hl2 normally, and tf2 models is gmod works fine with hdr and everything. It isn't my drivers cuz i have this problem in any drivers i used before. BTW I'm using windows XP & the driver is 174.31 from laptopvideo2go

Have you tried the support forums on Steam-powered.com ?

I once had a problem in Day of Defeat: Source where people looked like tin, this may be the same problem. Go to the Steam support site for your game, and try to search up "Shiny people in game" or something with the word "shiny" in it. It will tell you to enter a few things into the console, but it will not stay that way in the console forever. If that works, enter those messages in the CFG file.
