Well, thank you all so much. Seems like I was concerned over nothing, but then my head is firmly where the sun doesn't shine at the moment!
I used Scale Model Shop camo matt black, mixed 50/50 with Mr Color clear base rough. The clear base reduces the opacity and the rough part adds a bit of texture to the paint for the sooty look.
By thinning this right down I could add several layers to build up the colour gradually. Spraying "backwards" on the starboard side (from the exhaust and to my left) was tricky for me as a leftie, I just don't have as much control that way. I considered turning it upside down but figured the curve would be harder that way.
No secret really, but maybe some alchemyEcho the rest. Perfection! I'm envious of the exhaust staining. Care to share your secret Andy?
