The two-tone fade Cerakote pattern

A two-tone fade blends one color into another across the length of the part — subtle at the transition, bold at the ends. It reads custom without reading busy, which makes it one of the easiest upsells from a solid color.

How it sprays

Sprayed freehand with distance control at the transition — no stencils, but a steady hand. Most shops charge it as a two-color job plus a blend fee.

Choosing colors

Highest contrast works best: a warm tone into a deep black, or a bright accent into graphite. Keep the darker color at the muzzle/business end.
