    cling film clings. spary your black let it go hard, spray the red on nice and thick let it go tacky then get a bin bacg and rest it against the pain for a few seconds then peal off

    tis not marbled....its smoked

    marbelling is easy, im sure you remember it from school, paint somthing a colour, drip paint into a tank of water, dip the pannel in.. it comes out marbled

    it will never be flat tho.. have to literally put litre after litre of clear over the top then flat that off to get a flat deep finnish

    oh ok so i take it this technique without air brushes and paper bags will work if i use a candle on the pannel to get the black smoke and then clear coat over this or have i got the wrong idea.
    from the pictures it looks as though what i would need to do is lay down the green paint smoke over it and then clear coat
    sure i seen this method on tv somewhere
    thanks for all the replies people
