Fading Decals

Not all graffiti tags are fresh and shiny.  I took some 600 grit sandpaper and sanded some of the color off the decal to represent an older tag where the paint is starting to wear off/fade.  Aftet sealing, i hit the entire car with a white fade from airbrush

Good trick. I sometimes pool a little transparent (zinc) white on the decal too to further fade it.
