Creating texture reflection lines

Hi guys! First post on here :)

I was just wondering if someone could give me a bit of advice in terms of repainting? I've been painting aircraft for a while, but I've noticed they look a bit cartooney. I'm currently in the excellent Finnair A321-231SL repaint and noticed these "reflection" lines painted across the fuselage that make the repaint look so much more realistic

Added one of the aircraft in flight, and one of the texture (cropped down a lot). My question is, how do I make these lines on the paintkit to give my repaints a more realistic look?

Thanks so much in advance :)
