Answer
Hi Luis,

Paint your main color first and then paint your second color over the first without masking. The over-spray will blend into the first color. If your looking for a more subtle blend, Blend a small amount of the second color with a color blending clear and extend down onto the first color slightly farther than the first blend. This should help stretch out the blend further without totally covering the first color up.

For ghost designs use a small amounts of pearl (or another color paint) in clear color blender. The trick here is to be very transparent. Lighter is usually better because you can always add another coat until you get the desired effect. You may want to actually do a small panel or something to test these ideas out on before you start spraying your whole vehicle. It's hard sometimes to put knowledge into words so if you see something you don't quite understand please ask a follow up and I will see if I can clarify. Good Luck!
