Go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise. For Amount enter 30. Dot Gaussian and Check Monochromatic.
Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Angle 0. For Distance enter 999.
To get that shinny metalic look, use the Lighting Effects filter. Got to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. Make a Spotlight shinning down from the top. Make sure to turn up the Gloss all the way to "Shinny" like shown. Also Move the Material over to "Metallic". Adjust the rest to taste and click OK.
