Fade airbrushes transparent paints over a chrome base on the Glock-18, blending a color gradient that lets the metal glow through. The compact slide and frame show the gradient across a small canvas, so the transition is tight and bright. As with all Fades, examples carrying more color toward the muzzle are the ones players seek.
Fade skins show a gradient that runs across the weapon. The paint seed controls how far the gradient travels, expressed as a fade percentage. A higher percentage means the full colour spread is visible, which collectors pay more for.
Full 100% Fades, and on some knives "full fade" with a specific colour order, sit at the top of the range. The percentage is not in the item name, so it is read from the seed via a fade calculator before buying.
