Had a thought on this.. Modifying the texture so you have, basically, a 
white line that produces a hard transition to a height field, right 
along the point of delineation between the peeled and non-peeled parts 
would give you at least a start point, right? You would then have a sort 
of "punch through" effect, where there is a ridge of material, all 
around the point of transition. The problem then is doing something else 
to the resulting height field so that its not a solid outline, but has a 
more random "hang" and gaps in it, then... texturing gets a bit funky, I 
admit, since you have to somehow get it to apply the right "underside" 
coloration to the inside of this punch out, and the paint color, and 
other variances, to the "outside". But, yeah, that is a tough one, since 
I am not even sure how to get past the, "Use a modded version of the 
texture to get a height field.", part. lol
