Quote: "It doesn't really look like scratched metal to me"
This is just for scraping away edges on metal textures, actually making the base look like metal is up to you.
Quote: "Oh, criticism, maybe make the insides of the scratch sharpened more and add a little white to the insides as well (you may refer to them as the 'middle')."
This can be done by making the brush colour white when using this, and making it smaller, simple.
This should show you what it would be used for, as seen on my WIP gun texture.
