if you mean chrome…

> Her is a bad example of the fake chrome you generally see in 2D work. It just requires either a brown-white-blue gradient background. You can do this within Swift or use the Gradient fill (Chrome) in photoshop and export it to a supported raster format. Forgive the quality. Was done in 1.5 mintues and I have to get out the door.
