Pattern guide

The burst fade Cerakote pattern

A burst fade radiates from a point — bright in the center, darkening outward — instead of running end to end. Use the Shift sliders to put the burst exactly where you want it on the part.

How it sprays

Freehand from the center out, feathering as you go. Charge like a fade with an extra blend step.

Choosing colors

Bright center into a dark edge is the classic; three stops (bright, mid, dark) look the most finished.
