Step 1:

Necrons Speed Painting 3Starting with Gun Metal through the airbrush, spray the whole thing from a top-down angle, trying to leave some of the black underneath. Next up, take Shining Silver and put it onto a sponge to do a quick highlight, nothing crazy, just a few little spots to make your silver interesting.

Step 2:

Then hits it with Moot Green and highlights that with Flash Gitz Yellow. For the smaller sections, he uses the brush, but for the big middle part, he actually does it with the airbrush. It might be a little too bright, so he goes back with the yellow and tones it down a little more.
