Members Kustomizer Posted March 31, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 31, 2009 Awesome seat! How did you achive the color/fading? Airbrush or?Thanks in advance! Thanks! I used tan antique as the main color and applied it with a clean rag, then used a rag and wool dauber and applied the darker edge. It was tough, I had to go back and forth with a dry rag, then a damp one and then a duaber, finally got it mixed so it looked good. I struggle with applying color. Quote
