Mesh?Looks to me like sprayed dark blue over light blue and then used a piece of mesh to lift the dark off the light blue.
I agree with this, it seems like the dark blue was simply sprayed on after the light blue and the transition is just from the spray itself. I don't see any evidence of mesh or soap being used...I think it was pretty simple. The light blue was sprayed on first, then the dark blue. To get the "blended" effect, the spray can was held at a greater distance so that only big blobs of spray got onto the rocket body.
Something like this. OK, this was the first attempt, and a bit heavy-handed, but I think it shows the effect. I think the top coat spray can has to be moved past *fast*. With a bit of experimentation, you could do more than two colors.I agree with this, it seems like the dark blue was simply sprayed on after the light blue and the transition is just from the spray itself.

If you are real light and quick on the spray can button, you can get fades with a spray can. Or you can try a "soft mask". Basically a piece of card stock held an inch or so away from the rocket. Spray paint around the edges of the cardstock, and it will shield most of the background, while the edges get the fuzzy effect.I think it was pretty simple.

I've had different spray cans that would do this to varying degrees, in fact before a spray can completely craps out it seems to spit out larger and larger droplets.Something like this.
