R8 Revolver | Amber Fade (Well-Worn)

The R8 Revolver | Amber Fade in Well-Worn (WW) is the last step of the finish, because the skin never goes beyond 0.40. The band for this wear is 0.38 to 0.40, 5% of the scale. It is a Classified skin from The Dust 2 Collection.

What the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade looks like in Well-Worn

The base is chrome, with translucent paints on top that flow into one another. Green takes the barrel and the top of the frame, while amber and copper color the cylinder and the rear. The grip is gray and smooth.

In Well-Worn the chrome opens up more on the edges, and the shine of the gradient fades around the rim of the cylinder. The transition between colors is visible but less glossy. The wear was chosen at drop and does not grow from there.
