PHP-Nuke : in car...

If you scroll down the main page a ways to the white'69 Charger, below that you'll notice an in car shot depicting a Fusion cockpit. Notice the in car placard right below the ignition setup off to the right, it's a red & white sign that reads 'motorcraft' The thing about it that I really liked is the laminated texture quality of the sign. I thought it'd be nice if all could look similar in that area which is what I set out to do and came up with a workable effect. Below is essentially that same sign only modified with different logos.
At this point I could take any logo really and achieve a similar texture effect using a simplified template made from the original sign. What I'd like to do is make it available as an option, but in order to pull it off correctly requires some advanced knowledge of a photo editor (primarily overlay layers) Meaning there is more than one correct way to achieve the effect depending on what you're setting out to do (dark logo on white, reverse of white on dark, etc.) So as soon as I can make the option user friendly and painless, I'd like to get it up. I'm thinking it might require a brief tutorial as far as selecting the right layers and logo prep.
One other area I've been paying close attention to is paint. A lot of the automotive paints differ in quality quite a bit. Metallics range from dull to high gloss and thousands of variations in between. So I've been experimenting with metallic layers to achieve these effects. Normally you have one or two overlay/multiply layers as a metallic option, but two alone can't cover every automotive luster and finish. So if all goes planned, at some point I should have ready a set of metallic layers, possibly six or more that can be used to accurately replicate almost any finish. I still have a lot more to get out of the way as far as in car goes, but over the coming weeks there will be various details adding towards polishing up on the entire experience even more when it comes to cup simulation.
