The first one looks like like it might be a spray on the blank and epoxied over.

The second one looks like marbled epoxy to me.

Deffo a metallic thread of some sort shane, and I have to say, it looks nice. Not too difficult a finish to achieve if you have the time and a few old pieces of carbon to practice on.
