Real smoke?

[4u2nv]

With all the real flames going on I was thinking about trying a real smoke look. My guess would be itd be a similar layout to the real flames. Anyone in here try this or have any pointers to get me going in the right direction? I was thinking about trying it on my new lid (Ill practice on a scrap piece 1st of course).

I would imagine that the technique is quite similar. Google some pictures of "smoke" and see what you come up with.

I'd use the same technique but different colors. I would think smoke would look best using a combination of white, gray and black.

The problem is this.
You need transparent colors for the real fire.
You can get away with using window tint paint for black, but I've only seen it in rattle cans.

can't you just thin you're paint to the point where it's not too thin that it runs but the pigment isn't as dense? I don't think it'll work with water based but I'm pretty sure it does with the laquer based stuff.
