The swatches panel in Adobe Illustrator is great for saving colors for your particular document, but it also holds other important color choices as well, such as gradients.
First, go to Window > Swatches:
Then, press the Swatches library menu button:
In this example, I am going to choose Gradients > Metals. I am going to use the steel gradients to paint the chrome on a tire rim.
Then apply the gradient to your selection:
As you can see, there are many options inside the swatches panel in Adobe Illustrator, and selections made in sub panels are automatically saved to the main swatches palette. The metal swatches are great for painting chrome bumpers, trim, lettering and rims!
