  • You reckon they would fade well? One is a candy and the other is a flat colour right?

    I’d be tempted to do a fairly basic masked transition from one to the other with a black outline. Maroon from the front. Couple of ‘escaping’ outlined maroon bits towards the back of the shell

    Or something

  • The gunmetal is the backing for the candy maroon, so maybe?

    Either way, it’s the two paints I have right now and fancied trying something else

  • Test spray on an off cut will tell you!

    Airbrush arrived a couple of days ago. Waiting for pro line paint to come back in to stock :/

  • I recon it might work.

    My secret to doing a sick fadez is to spray clear lacquer down first and fade the lightest colour onto that while it's still wet, You'll get a great gradient then. Definitely do a test card first though, so you know how much of a blend you want.

    I've used this technique for a few years, worked well when we did a load of Le Creuset prototypes for a project, fading the orange into red.
