Rough metallic surface

I wanted to make a rough metallic surface and I ended up with this by fiddling around with a back-to-white gradient and emboss it. I finally got a clean 200x200 image that alings seamlessy and can be used as a pattern:

(You can make it golden by colorify with yellow.)

Are there any other strateiges for making a rough metallic surface?

(Feel free to use this pattern if you like it.)

You might use a bump map. Open a suitable image, plenty if you search google images, in your case perhaps part of a larger image as a base. Then in your new image it is filters -> map -> bumpmap and point at the 'rusted' image.

You get an effect like this. http://i.imgur.com/73HYK.jpg

Since you are aiming at a small image for a tilable pattern, then its filters -> map -> make tilable.
