The HDR image that is wrapped around the scene is what will be reflected in the metal.

If you are referring to those little star flares....

If they are not part of the HDR image (in your example, it looks like they are) they would have to be added in post. KeyShot doesn't do lighting/lens flares.

I use the Video Copilot Optical Flares plug-in for After Effects.

TGS808 has the right answer. I've used the videocopilot stuff for a long time, its pretty industry standard, even used in a couple theatrical movies (Super8 was a big one) Super easy to use and very customizable. Its not super cheap, but if you are doing a lot of this sort of thing, its totally worth it.
