How to paint a fade with spray cans

- Hey guys! I’m Brad, and I make how-to videos. I do custom painting projects, guitar painting, airbrushing, spray can painting, wood working, and a variety of other finishing work and tutorials. Please subscribe and check out my channel for more!
In this video I demonstrate the process for painting a fade from one colour to the next with spray cans. I use four different colours for this tutorial to create a fade from blue to yellow.
The trick to this technique is understanding how the angle of the spray can effects how it sprays. A little bit of practice will go a long way to helping you understand and master this custom painting technique.
As always, if you're doing a custom paint job on something important you should know that spray cans are really not the best option. In almost every circumstance, spray guns and airbrushes allow you to achieve a better result. This kind of paint job is no different. A much better fade can be achieved with the proper equipment, as well as with the use of more transparent paints.

@ John Doe I'm glad to hear it.
Thanks Brad. Gives me an idea to spray rainbow colours on a canvas or board. Stay safe
Thanks for the video. I want to paint my mountain bike blue and fade into orange with splatter on top. Can't wait til I do it now
Alysha Harvey Cool. Let me know how it goes.
Great information regarding color type. Very helpful to have this sort of knowledge passed on. It's often assumed in most DIY videos. Thanks Brad.
Thank you Jon. I appreciate this sort of feedback since I'm alway trying to balance between leaving things out and making videos that are too long and exhaustive.
Thank You Bro!! straight to the point, thats how i like it!
I’m glad you liked it.
Thank you so very much for posting this! You explain things so well and succinctly, and this is invaluable information for an upcoming custom PC case I'm working on. I suspect I'll be referring to your videos for quite a few future projects!
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.
Your videos answered all my guitar coloring questions. Thank you so much!
+Vojtěch Krása I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely great tutorial! Used this to fade my base coat into a carbon spoiler.
I am gonna paint a gradient of black and grey on my bike frame. Thanks for the EXPLAINATION, I have never spray painted a gradient. THANK YOU.
I hope it goes well for you.
I thought the blue to red would look terrible but it ended up looking awesome, thanks for the tip
Thanks for watching
"Don't be an idiot, wear a mask." That aged well.
Omfg🤣😷
right??? lol
Illuminate Time travel cofinermed!?!?11?!
Wow thank you so much! I'm completely spray canning my vehicle and this is what I am trying to do. Blue purple and pink. Thank you so much gave me the strength to tackle this.💯❤
That’s a very big surface to try to paint evenly with spray cans. I wish you luck.
@@BradAngove thank you it came out great.
Not sure if you can post a pic here but I’d LOVE to see your results! I wish my truck was hot pink.
Thanks for the vid. I'm gonna be painting the clear body of an RC car with color transitions like this. Since its a smaller area overall, not sure how it will pan out.
Would be much easier to airbrush it if you have that option.
Look at you with your spray can expertesness. Iade that word up myself.
thanks man this was helpful as im painting a knife soon in a fade pattern and this really helped
+Hydra Productions I'm glad you found it useful. Apparently a lot of people are painting fade effects on knives.
The go - to - guy for instruction.Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Cool. I'm gonna give my bike some hot rod flames with this trick. thanks, bro.
Nice. That should be awesome.
what i do is spray 'beyond' the object ' sort of what you are doing but more distance and sort of a feather sweep with the arm movement - i've gotten excellent results with that and even get a bit of that colour through colour look that's hard to do with spray (like candy apple)
awesome I have an idea with a pure blue and and blue violet. Thanks man
Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to make a fade pattern on my guitar
+GravePot you're welcome. I hope it goes well for you.
Thank you so much. Your video was very helpful for me 😃
Glad to hear it.
helped a lot thanks!
+Jasmine Williams You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks man I really needed this skill.
Thanks Brad 💪🏾
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome.
Great video.
I just completed a guitar headstock repair and plan on fading black laquer (hiding my repair) to the clear laquer on the neck. I really should buy an airbrush to do it correctly...but for the sake of budget...I'll give rattle can laquer a shot...hoping I can make the fade even more subtle with a little wet sanding of the transition before final clear coats and buffing.
The sanding trick is worth a try, but be prepared to have to re-do it. I’d do a layer of clear under the black to give you a buffer in case you need to sand the black off and try again. Sandpaper often shows us that our paint isn’t quite as even as we think.
Thanks! I'm taking my sweet time...might take a couple tries...paint showed me a couple spots that are begging for a little glazing putty. :(
@alano2875 that tends to happen
Lots of patience required... It might be obvious...but I tried a method for my fade that seemed to work well...I put down a light clear and while it was wet, I faded the color into it...the clear and color melted together well and created an almost candy apple finish. Just in case there are others out there who don't want to invest in an air-brush. Thanks again for all your helpful videos.
Thanks for your help, Brad! It's helped me alot
Glad to hear it
im painting my m9 Bayonet with these fade colors thanks for the tips and color scheme
DaBoss 01 That sounds cool. You're welcome.
DaBoss 01 150 keys pure

Thanks man, really helped. 'Bout to spray a rasta colored fade on my cousin's board
+Delirious DJ Nice. Let me know how it goes.
Would look great with anodized paint
i painted my karambit black and flourescent pink thanks dude
Cool. Glad you made use of the video.
Logan you should get a airbrush wayy better for it
thx that helped me out alot bc im going to customize my skateboard and i need a fade background
Gonna try this on my board
Excellent explanation
Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial. I make dragon eggs with push pins and spray paint is the best option for them so I needed to learn how to make the fade work for me.
Dragon eggs?
Yup. Fading is something I've wanted to use for them. Basically you take styrofoam and you push the pins in around and around. By the end it gives the whole thing the look of a scaley egg. But so far I've only really done solid colors.
I’m not sure what you’ve been using to paint them, but be careful spraying them. The solvents in paint can melt styrofoam.
I'm painting the tacks themselves well before putting on styrofoam. I've been doing this for a while but did discover that nifty issue when I was first starting.
thanks for your tips
Thank you for the tutorial.
I'm glad to see that I'm right on track, painting lightest to darkest. In my case I'm going from aqua to a dark blue or maybe purple. I want to see how well it blends and how much contrast it gives on a mirror frame. 🪞
Great tips thanks
Great job. Thanks for the vid.
+Jim Schmidt Thanks Jim.
Just what I am looking for. Thanks so much
thanks my friend i learn so much whit your vids i paint paintball gun makes camo, design and more now because of you thks alot
+Steve Jobin I'm glad you've found the videos useful.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thanks for this! Im gonna use this for my new bmx. Mayby with Black,lime and red
+Arttu Ylitalo That sounds like an interesting color combination. Let me know how it goes.
Came for the tutorial, stayed for the cute guy ...scooby snack ;)
Thx for help
Excellent thank you
Great demonstration! This helps a lot! Thanks Brad.
I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
That looks like the "hall of flame" blazer from king of the hill
Thanks man, going to paint my guitar.
Fades of this nature generally are done wet on wet so the smaller particles blend or melt into the previous color. On larger surfaces one can mix their blend in the gun and wait for the previous color to flash off.
+Lone Wolf ya, the gun would make it nicer. Wet on wet is a good option, but it would have been too much paint at once on there.
thank you for this. this works well for graffiti
Glad to hear it.
This helped a ton! Thankyou✨
Great hands btw🙌🏼
Glad I could help. “Great hands” is a new one haha.
Brad Angove 😂😂😂
Being an artsy person it’s just always something I seem to notice on a person!☺️✨
Thanks bro 😁🙏
Batman be painting
Nice.. Goodjob
Thanks man, Very helpful. I'm going to be doing a bass guitar and this is the info I needed!
Excellent. Best of luck with your project. Let me know how it goes!
Great video. I was trying to figure out how to do a fade with spray paint and I'm glad I found your video. I would have done it wrong. I'm painting a huge cow skull it'll red orange and yellow. Now I wish I had blue. I just but the yellow on and I'm about to start the orange. It's going to be a little harder because the skull is hanging from a wire and I have to get the can tilted the right way painting on a vertical surface. Thanks for the video!
Jeremy Bauer Thanks for watching. I'm sure there are other good ways of doing it, but I find that this way works well.
Brad Angove it worked great for me
Glad to hear it!
Cool and Lekkaaah!!!
Subbed Brad, your vids are helpful and human. I am in the midst of repainting my car wheels, and a circular fade intrigues me. Ever try it with spray cans? I'm allergic to spending money on pro jobs/equipment
Thank you. I haven't done a circular fade specifically, but I have done a burst effect on a guitar body, which applies essentially the same principals. You may want to try it out on something else (round) before spraying your wheels to make sure you're happy with the angles that you need to hold the can at etc.
Thanks A Lot Bro
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for all your many helpful tips and lessons.
Since you’re around paints all the time, can you direct me to a source for either a candy orange rattle can or a lighter shade of orange solid color. All that I can find border on burnt orange or dark orange.
Thanks!
Have a look at the candy colours available in cans from house of kolor. You should be able to find them through coatairbrush.
On the solid colours, are you looking for something brighter than what I used in this video?

Thanks!
You’re welcome.
great tutorial im gonna use this on a knife! :)
+B05 Clatterfart Thanks. I hope it goes well.
csgo
Going to try in on some horse shoes ...yellow to orange to blue
"Sun set fade blue thing " amazing
+Quinn Gostovich What can I say? I have a way with words...
+Brad Angove yep
That awesome may be it can be more smart if you spray clear matt
To Brad or anybody who is happy enough to reply:
I'm planning to respray my butterfly knife (blade is metal of course but the handlers are part wooden), so any suggestions for making the knife to look quite metallic and wont look too glossy like some cheap plastic material? And any advices I need before I spray on the wooden handles, or not advisable at all?
PS: It's my first in spraying paint for modification so yea...
If you don't want a gloss look, either use a matte paint, or use a matte clear coat at the end.
Make sure you sand the surfaces lightly before spraying so that the paint will adhere well.
been looking for a tutorial on something like this. now im gonna try to spray paint gamecube controllers
+frankie santos Cool. I have a series where I did a tutorial spraying xbox controllers, but honestly the process is pretty straightforward.
mtn or ironlak cans are AMAZING for somethin like this
+Cornell Eisenbise Cool.
+Brad Angove you should give them a try. you already have mad skills, i can only imagine what you would be able to do with real cans
I've tried the ironlak ones before. Never the MTN cans though. I'll have to look into getting some.
Thanks. That was very helpful
I’m glad you found it useful.
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Great tutorial, but do you have to be that attractive? It's quite distracting.
+JitterBob I'll see what I can do to rectify that haha.
I figure the internet isn't the place to be overconfident. There's always someone out there who can do what you're doing better, or at least who is willing to say they can.
+Brad Angove That's no reason to put yourself down. Sure you're not the best, but you're certainly better than average, no?
I certainly hope so, otherwise there's no reason for people to be watching my tutorials haha.
They're good tutorials. Oh, and I'm not a lady Starfire. ;)
JAKE RYAN FROM 16 CANDLES IS A SPRAY CAN BOMBER!
I'm gonna try this in my rc lexan body!
+Jorge Barros Cabezas Cool. Let me know how it goes!
Awesome !
Gonna use it on my rc car
Cool
This was super helpful! Thanks!
I’m glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
I would love to see you do this with a paint sprayer on a piece of furniture
A piece of furniture with a fade finish? That sounds quite interesting haha.
Never knew thor had youtube tutorials,,
The more you know...
@@BradAngove omg,,,he replied,,,,i lv u bro,,,lv ur physique,,,,gib fan,,no homo
do i wait for forst color to dry before applying secind color
With these solvent based paints I would usually wait for the prior colour to "flash", which takes about 10 minutes usually. If you let it dry completely you should sand it lightly before spraying the next colour.
I like it thx
Any suggestions for doing a vertical surface (specifically an antique fridge) with black on bottom and red on top?
Can you lay it on its side briefly?
@@BradAngove I thought of that, but I need to do all 4 sides. I might hang the fridge upside down so I can spray the black downwards. Think that would work?
@jaredourada that would be easier that spraying upward, but I think that might screw up the fridge.
Consider putting the fridge on a stand of some sort so that you can spray upward. Paint it red, then spray at an upward angle with the black. It just may take a bit of extra spraying to feather out the fade.
cool I'm about to spray my Penny Board Deck from Orange to Pink To Purple!
+Munchy Pug Cool. Is that a skateboard?
Brad Angove yeah its a type of skateboard but is made by penny australia and is plastic , instead of me explaining it i suggest you just search it!
Thanks man this really helped!
+RedstrokeProductions Glad to hear it.
Thanks again, Brad :) really helped
Glad to hear it. You're welcome.
hey Brad great video. im gonna give this a shot going from red to gold.
what are your thoughts about taping off the gold you DONT want to fade, and having over lap with a red, and then going over it with sand paper to control the fade a little more?
If you tape off anything it’s going to leave a hard line in the overspray there. Is that what you’re looking for?
@@BradAngove yes a hard line. im thinking maybe going over that hard line "overlap" with sand paper might make it a more controllable fade than angling the spray can. im going to try this week
So.... how about something like a vignette effect on canvas? Same process just going around in a circle?
In essence, yes. Have a look at my videos on painting a burst. That’s what they call a vignette on guitars.
Very helpful,Thank you.
+arfurfox hake Thanks for watching.
When i spray painted my poster, i could see some dark and light spots. It looks uneven
Your poster likely absorbed a significant amount of the paint, which is what is causing that blotchy look.
I’m trying to fade a gun from od green to fde
thanks going to try painting some knifes
+MrFunTimez You're welcome. Good luck with your project.
karambit fade?
I'm amazed by how many people want to use this technique to paint knives.
Brad Angove its probably due to counter strike having many knives that are fades and people want to make their own.
Interesting.
Would you recommend light color first or dark?
Light first generally.
Banksy does this fade thing on some of his stencils for the shadows
Banksy has some crazy skills. I'm jealous haha.
