ok forgive me for my ignorance but anno and acid wash is a little new to me..can you acid was and fade given the right color combos???

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Hey Enemy, yeah i think you could fade and acid wash at the same time but it would prob cost quite a bit and the colors would have to be carefully chosen.

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

For acid wash:
I belive the parts are anodized, then dyed in the darker base color, usually black. Then a mild bleaching solution is applied, probably by hand, to wash out areas of the base color. Then the parts are dunked in the second color. Since there is two dunks on all the pieces there can be some bleeding/leaching of colors. Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad. Depending on the colors used.
My blue/green acid wash had shades of green/blue and lots of aqua. Which I wanted. Now if you did pink and blue the shades would look like crud most likely. Hmm, gets me thinking, I've seen orange/black acid washes and gold/black acid washes. Pink/black might be interesting....or a train wreck.

For a fade the pieces are dipped in only one color for the most part. Only the actual fade gets double dipped.
