Hehe - you might not like it, I think it's the best so far 
Wear&tear isn't so hard to do if you don't have too high expectations. Just add a few layers with 30% opacity and random specks decreasing in diameter (you can even use the magic wand tool with an edge tolerance of 1-2). Makin exhaust smoke burns isn't difficult at all, just take the "big galaxy" pen and smear it a little bit. You don't have to create it anew, just make three different smoke/oil trails and when re-using them, change the hue a little bit and use the finger tool to smear them out individually...
I'm not a skinner (just made my first skin yesterday) but with Gimp, it seems much easier to me than with Paintshop Pro 7.0...
