not sure how contaminating the powder with acetylene will work out, but i have seen titanium heated in spots and then pc'd and it leaves a wild pattern. i tried searching for the pics but did not have any luck.

Might be a powder coating genius but not a spelling genius.

I was watching either Overhualing or american hotrod, i think on of them, and they did the same thing with torch on some plastic, the put some other stuff then a clean coat, in the end it turned out to like a lot like wood grain..

if you do that in little flame like licks under a candy coat it looks pretty sweet, i've seen it on some motorcycle and car flame jobs before.

I think it would look better if it was a little more even. Try to keep the torch moving, that way you dont end up with big all black spots like on your first one.

Well I definitely think you're onto something. I think it'd look great if you started out with a color first instead of white. How will that hold up? I mean, the parts that you burnt, will they flake off? I was wondering if you'd have to bake a clear over that?
I like different stuff. If you do more, please post pics.

Here a acetelyne torch with a fine tip was used to create spots. Then the metal was coated with a matte finish and a special clear that allowed the discolored areas to show through.
Sorry, no burnt smoke

I don't either... Looks like someone just took a lighter to a plate and it left black marks.

Pappy, your pic above looks awesome
Redracing88, not to get you fired up, but i will say your smoke on the plate looks ok, but you have to work on the curing, the finish on that part is not smooth, its filled with craters, etc. I wont even say orange peel effect, because its way beyond that. keep working on it though
