Brushed Aluminum
This simple technique uses two colors and a flat brush. This quick and easy technique looks great on Harleys, Hot Rods, and 4x4 pickups. Guys like the tough, rugged look and you have the templates to knock this out like a pro.

Easy fades like this are awesome for flames as well as graphics. You can choose red to yellow, blue to purple, green to yellow, you name it! This technique makes you look like an ace graphics guy and it doesn't require an airbrush.
