Lables on glass bottles

Ok I am using 3DS Max and VRay and I am making a glass bottle. I want to put a label on it. I currently have a map in the refraction slot and that works but the label is slight transparent in the coloured areas. Is there a better way of doing this? I can provide pictures if need be.

I will not tell you how to create the materials as you can figure that part out yourself and my needs might not be the same as yours :)

Look at the picture, create a VRay blend material. Click on base material and create a VRayMtl (this will be what the glass is made out of). Then click on the left hand slot of the of the coat materials. This is where you will upload your logo bitmap. Go to the right hand slot, this will be your opacity mask. This sounds counter-intuitive but the mask will white where you want the logo to be and black where you want it to be transparent.

I hope this helps

Oh and here is the result (please escuse low render quality - it was only a test)

Dave, you can edit this post and upload screenshots using the picture icon if you like ;-)
