Folks, when you choose the color red for ex: in bucket fill. How do i make the color red a metalic red?

Are you wanting to make metallic-looking letters, cars, objects, etc?

Do you have an example you can show us?

Click here to view a photo of an object that is painted with red metallic paint. As you can see, there are light and dark shaded areas that make it appear metallic and shiny.

I think a reflection inside the paint sets it off quite nicely too.If you want that red metal reflection effect.


This is episode 65 Meet The Gimp where Phillipe shows us how to use font to make chrome and a gradient to make red painted metal.
Great vid
