How can I fix this edge wear on a paint layer using Anchor groups

Is there a better way to add the edge wear to the painted section? I used a basic setup to hopefully show how the current folder structure is. The Normal detail group has its own folder with an anchor so it can be referenced by the edge wear generators etc. The trouble is if I add Normal (or Height details using the same separate group and anchor setup) you can't (or I can't think at the moment) how to reference the edge ware with some added paint to the handle in this example?

I assume you want the red paint to use the same generator effects. You could do it two ways.

1. Copy the generators to your paint layer

or

2. Add a paint effect to the existing 'Metallic Paint' layer and add your red paint there. This would use the same generators as the rest of the layer

    Thank you! How did I not think of that? It seems so obvious now I never even considered that. Hope this helps anyone in the future.
