it has been done to add some artistic flavor with stencils, different netting to give the fish scale look ,and fade color paint. it is time consuming to do though

My grand dad used to do old cars, customs and hot rods, used to put down a.coat of the base color, than spray a second color through lace masked to the side of any vertical panels and especially the old metal dashboards. He did some beautiful work with just adjusting the tip of his paint gun and pinching the hose to control the air pressure.

I have on a couple rods mainly just above the handle or at the very tip if they wanted a different color like many of the ice rod blanks you can buy now

Is it possible to airbrush the entire blank? I'm sure prepping the blank would need to be done.
