I've been trying to find a good tutorial to help me make something like the header/footer/navigation box of guildwarsguru.com, and I can't seem to get the borders right. If you could help me make something like the header, or at least get something similar to the little metal bar that runs behind the shield on that page, I'd be very very grateful.

I hope you're not going to laugh,
but my first texture that i thought was close to that kind of metal, was when i started out with a scan of a scratched baking plate. I then made 2 copies: a pale green one and a grey one: then i took the 2 put them on seperate layers (gray one under the green one) and i started deleting the green layer in several parts of the drawing with a really soft brush (big one).

Dunno of any of this make sense.

Of course I'm not going to laugh ;) Would be very ungrateful of me to laugh when someone offers a tip ;)

I'll try that tactic you suggested
