At Home Budget Battleworn Cerakote for Beginners

This video is part of a larger series teaching anyone, from the ground up, how to Cerakote at home on a budget • Cerakote Tutorials and...
This is the first multicolor Cerakote style I'm teaching. I started with this as it is the easiest multicolor style in my opinion. In this video we will cover not only the how to, but also the philosophy behind what makes a pleasing battleworn finishing.

I could not stop watching! Great video!

Great video. I'm wondering if instead of taking off the base coat, if you could airbrush some battle ship grey or bright nickel on the high spot?

Probably could. How realistic that comes out would be dependent on how well you draw wear marks. I'd vote for doing it with Uni Posca paint pens while the previous color is still semi-tacked out though. Go look up the Borderlands style of cerakote. That is how they are achieving that look.
