smoke paint job (flame oriented)

surely some ones done it before. have any of you seen a smoke paint job. not a smoked or charcoal color but like the kind of smoke that floats from a fire? ive never seen one, was just thinkin about it the other day. pics?

any type of "effect" is always hard to ull of, smoke would be cool and well appreciated because it is an element, and it is natural ,like real fire paint, its hard to duplicate nature to the T, hope someone has done it, id like to see some.

Years ago I saw a paintjob with smoke from a welding torch used to drift black smoke into wet paint or possibly clearcoat creating a 'smoke on paint' look. The guy told that's how he did it, but I've never tried it.

I've seen it done on a truck in some show coverage on here I believe. Which issue it was I can't remember but it looked really good.

cover truck for minitruckin a good while back (like 99 or 2000 maybe)...tuklugs...old school yota. green with ghosted flames on the rockers with smoke residue in the clear and on the amp inside...someone also asked in the street trucks forum about it and i think craig fraser said it like this, flames and paint fumes don't mix!

I think he just means the actual smoke look. Like instead of flames, you have smoke rolling back and down the sides. I may be wrong but it didnt seem like he was asking about actually using a flame to do things in the paint. Although using a torch to blow black soot on a flame job is kickass. Although I would hope anyone doing that would be smart enough to do it right and not blow themselves up.

Ive just seen it done with a torch on a chopper tank, the guy used the torch to do the black smoke on the tank then sprayed candy over it and clear, it looked bad

The way I read the post was actual smoke from an actual flame source. Either way, you could airbrush an effect to get that look too but I have seen real smoke put into paintjobs. My concern would be A) blowing yourself up. and B) getting contaminents in the paint or clear and having issues later with lifting or something or clear not sticking properly. But hey, there are no rules when it comes to custom.

any pics of these techniques???
