Step One – Create a text layer
Create a new file and make a text layer. You can add background if you like, just to make it easy, when you want to see a clear grunge effect.

I choose dark background behind orange text.

The interesting part about my grunge photoshop action, is that you can blend two colors (better be in contrast) combination. I suggest you to do some small experiment using different color combination to see how they will look for your design.

If you follow the steps correctly, then you will see this effect:

There is kind of eroded background, which perhaps you need to adjust a little more.
Go to the layer panel, and your default text layer has been rasterized and being duplicated in two times. Be sure to work in grunge copy 2 layer, because that is where the eroded background set.

Search for eraser tool in tool box, then set its opacity as you like and start to erase unwanted background spot with this tool.

You can also adjust the layer opacity as you wish to have better background look.
