Struggline to Create "Ripped Metal" Graphic

Hey everyone, I think this is being posted in the correct place, please forgive me if not.

One of the many activities that requires me to use Photoshop is to 'paint' race cars for an online simulation game (iRacing). I had a guy ask me to produce a re-creation of an existing car and it just so happens to include a 'ripped metal' type effect.

I've avoided this kind of graphic for a long time now because I can't seem to find a good tutorial on the web and I've not been able to develop the ability to create such a graphic so far. So, if anyone would be so kind as to shoot some advice/instruction my way, it would be very greatly appreciated.

Here is the care which I'm trying to replicate (note the 'ripped metal' effects).

**Edit: Since I don't yet have 8 posts I can not put a picture up of the car. I know it's a hassle but if you use Google Images and type in "logano mad catz" the black and yellow car should be the first result. Once I reach 8 posts, I"ll edit this thread to include the image.


Big thanks in advance,
Landon
 
well there's many techniques to create the ripped "paint,paper" effect.

I 've tried some of them myself and most of them doesn't work for that purpose , and the only thing that i think it could work out for you, is PAINTING the effect yourself as i did and based in this basic tutorial Ripped and Torn Edges "Effects"

Roughly, i managed to get something similar like that but not quite as in the example provided, but i think whit practice and patience you could get there,

By the way in order to draw the flames like "thin Black Outlines" and most of the lines in between the color shades i'll recommend using a tablet, but not necessarily in order to get the desired effect.

If not, you could use the pen tool also.

Hope this helps, good luck.
