Elonian Jerkin dye channels

[TheMagickDoll.7594]

This isn't the first time, like Carapace Jerkin, but what I am trying to figure out.. why in the world are the metal textures on the armor piece being linked to non-metal textures on the color channels? They should have been separated and because it is not, makes it very difficult to color. Not sure how such a simple thing wasn't done. It is a beautifully designed piece, unfortunately the color channeling is ruins it. Is there any chance to get this fixed? (Probably there are more armor pieces that suffer this issue, but this being one of the newest I thought it worked best as an example for a serious coloring issue on armor pieces.)
