Worn Yellow Metal - Procedural PBR Shader for Blender Texture

The Worn Yellow Metal Procedural Shader is a high-quality, fully procedural material designed for Blender artists and 3D professionals seeking authentic weathered metal surface details. This shader replicates the aged, painted metal look with peeling paint, rust patches, scratches, and exposed metal, making it ideal for realistic props, industrial scenes, post-apocalyptic environments, or worn machinery models. Built entirely using Blender’s node-based shader system, it requires no external texture maps for setup.
