Smoke paint

So any tricks on how to use smoke paint, without it being so runny and not sticking?

If you are using Tamiya smoke, to tint windows, its difficult to use. You have to brush or airbrush it on in layers. Acrylic paint does not like to stick to smooth plastic. I used to brush it on, and found that you had to put so many layers on, that after a while it looks blacked out. So I started using black paint instead. The smoke does work OK through an airbrush, but you have to let each coat dry before putting the next one on.
