    Paint and sand off to reveal the black through it?

    My impression was this was cerakoting by airbrush.

    It had to have been "rubbed/sanded off" - you can't "apply" a color over another color and have it look that way.

    Color me (pun intended) impressed.

    You are correct, my buddy does Cerakote professionally. He explained the process: He lays down a base coat and bakes it until cured. Then a 2nd coat of a different color gets partially cured and is then buffed off to create as much or as little worn effect as the customer wants.

    Parbaking isn't just for pizzas anymore.

    More or less you flash the undercoat at around 200 degrees for 15 minutes (till it's not tacky but not cured) pull it let it cool then hit it with a lighter coat of black flash cure that for 10 -15 minutes again not cured just not tacky. There are several ways to get the effect some use acetone lightly some use sand paper some lower the pressure in the gun to give it a more stipple effect I have found through trial and error what works best for me is auto paint reducer and a gray scuff pad with some elbow grease. I hit the pad with a little reducer and scuff down the black till it looks like ai want it to and wipe down as I go once it's done back in the oven at 200 degrees for 2 hours , you can quick cure for 1 hour at 300 degrees but given I already put the underside layer in as a tack coat a longer bake cycle is better in my opinion anyhow.

    For this one I hit it with a basecoat flash cured cooled applied my stencils hit it with black flash cured cooled then went over the stencils with black to cover and basically bring the helmet and lettering back out in that worn look with my scuffing, then final cured.
