ghost flames

[mooneye777]

I am starting to mess with an air brush I bought 5 years ago. I taped and cut a checker flag, and flame scheme on my work thermus. I of coarse got real excited and slapped clear over the paint a couple hours later. I learned that the set up time may be longer now, as they began to run and mix the colors together, Its a shame too, it once looked nice. Thats why I guess I did the thermus first, and not my car. Any way I love the ghost flames and was wondering how they get that effect from the paint? Any insight of minor explanation would be greatly appreciated.
