Step 5:

create a new group by clicking the group icon in the layers palette



Now Ctrl+Click the text layer to make a selection of it like so.



Make sure you have the group selected, then add a layer mask with this icon in the layers palette.



You layers palette should now look like this, make sure you have the exact order of your layers as below:

Step 6:

Remember that we've added the texture to our project? Duplicate this texture and move it in to the group we just created and change its blend mode to Darken.



If you haven't already expand the group so we can see the texture we just moved to it, now let's duplicate this texture and change the blend mode of the duplicated texture to Soft light and its Opacity to 50%. Now we have our finished Rough metal text effect, you could tweak this so much more by using different blend modes, adding more texture, lightning and so on. Have fun!
