Okay, I am in the midst of painting my gun, and I wanted to do a fade
color. with a red to black fade. I am curious how to do the fade,
and if anyone has pics on a red to black fade they have done if i could
see them. I can see how much easier it would be to use to colors close
to each other, but to colors completly different....... thanks I don't want my gun to look like crap once i get it done if the fade doesn't look right |

the easiest way would be to use an airbrush, and smoothly lessen the amount of red/black being sprayed onto the opposit color.

well I figured out what I will do. lay one coat of black down. all over
the gun, and then add the red to the front of it, giving it a
fade.. how will that work, or look? ------------- My Setup- 98 regular VL Quantum Hopper 98C Expansion Chamber remote line 48ci 3000 3A nitro tank 16 in Armson Stealth Rifled Barrel Java 6+1 harness soon to add- Double Trigger |

a fade is when the opacity or "thickness" of one layer decreasses or
increasses over another layer. good luck, how i would do it is by
starting with the can closer to the marker, but when you want to start
the fade pull it away slowly.

personally i suggest not using spray paint, or paint. the real way to change the color is using some crazy acid stuff, that u dip it in..... long proceess, and then u have a dif color with no extra stuff on teh outside. although that is pricy, and is illegal to do with out a permit. ------------- Jesus- the way to go. planning to get ion |
