You'll find the Gloss Contour box in the bottom half of the Bevel & Emboss section of the Layer Styles dialog, in the pane marked Shading. Click on the contour that's shown in the thumbnail and a variety of shapes will pop up, from which you can select the one you want. Each one will pop up a name as you roll over it, and don't just try my suggestion - see what looks best to you. 
In step 8, I'm not going to give you exact values to type in, for two reasons. First, because the values will depend on how big your artwork is, how big your brush was when you painted the rust effect, and how densely you covered the area. The second reason, though, is that I don't approve of the sort of Photoshop tutorial where all readers do is follow the recipe, typing in the numbers they're told to type in. It's much more important that you gauge the values for yourself. After all, if it looks right, then it is right. Hope this helps. Do report back if you have any more difficulty - and show us your results, either way. Steve |
