Paint on the slide only
Unlike Fade knives, where the gradient covers the whole blade, the Glock-18 | Fade colours only the slide. It goes from warm orange at the front through red and violet to blue at the rear. The frame and grip keep the plain grey polymer look. That makes the skin quieter than it sounds: in first-person view you see the colour mainly along the top of the pistol.
Float and the pattern
Floats up to 0.07 are Factory New, the rest Minimal Wear, and the two look almost the same. What changes more between copies is the pattern. Fade finishes use the pattern number to position the gradient, so two copies can show slightly different amounts of each colour. We don't rate patterns or name specific numbers; the patterns guide explains how to compare them yourself.
Related skins
The same airbrushed technique appears on knives like the Karambit | Fade and on the Desert Eagle | Blaze. More Glock-18 skins are on the Glock-18 page.
