R8 Revolver | Blaze (Factory New)

Skin overview

R8 Revolver | Blaze is a Mil-Spec Grade pistol finish with orange, red and yellow flames running over a dark chrome body. The front of the barrel glows solid orange, and the flames fade back into black towards the cylinder. In Factory New the transparent paint keeps its full depth, so the chrome shine shows evenly through the flames.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The barrel tip is painted bright orange, and the top of the barrel and the frame carry a flame motif in orange, red and yellow over a black base. The cylinder, hammer, trigger and trigger guard stay dark gunmetal with a chrome sheen, while the top rail is black and the under-barrel rail is left bare grey metal. The finger-grooved grip is a pale grey that contrasts with the hot colours up front. Since the paint is transparent over chrome, wear shows as lighter metal coming through, starting at the muzzle edge, the top rail and the raised edges of the cylinder.

The orange muzzle and the flames are complete, with no breaks in the paint on the barrel or the frame. The chrome base gives the colours an even, glossy depth. In game the gradient from orange to black reads cleanly at any distance. The cylinder and grip look untouched.
