Hey John, here you go. Hope this helps. Eyecandy pretty much does the work for you.
- Pick a Font ( I usually choose a light gray for my text…color will effect your affect).
- rasterize font. (left click on text layer and choose rasterize layer)
• go to Filters > Eye Candy > Chrome • from here you can manipulate: Bevel Width Bevel Height Scale Smoothness Ripple Thickness Ripple Width Bevel Placement (inside/outside) • you can also adjust the lighting and the curves on the bevel profile.
- If you don’t want any of the bevel but you want the chrome, I usually create a path or a selection around the non-beveled area, select inverse and delete the bevel.
- You can then go through your image > adjustments to change the hue of your chrome to a gold, silver, or more chrome. - Use image > adjustments > color balance - Or image > adjustments > hue/saturation
The customization comes when you start manipulating the hue/contrast/highlights/shadows.
This took me about 15 minutes to do all of these...Pretty easy.
Barb and Steve, you can put this on your tips and tricks section...I don't know how.
Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I use photoshop all of the time. If you need to know anything, just ask. If I don't know I'll find out.

I create three different sizes of spray on top of each other then with a really small spray I create a criss cross. You can add layer gradient masks on the criss cross to fade it out.
Thanks.
