Probably not much better than black, but hoping the 71.304 doesn't popcorn in the FL summers also.

The actual color isn't black, it's a more of a dark blue-grey. I used Vallejo 71.304 recently and that's a close match.

Yeah I combed the internet for different pictures of 6002 and it's a dark blueish grey. It changes a lot depending on the light and maybe repaints. It looks a lot like Vallejo 71.304 in some pics, but much darker in ones like this

But what do you mean exactly by 'adding to the feel of the inputs'?
You mean as in the smoke helping to control better the jet?
To some degree, yes... you have more of a 'visual' idea in terms of angle of attack, efficiency of flying and how 'abrupt' the maneuvers or changes in trajectory are, and certainly can use that to fly more smoothly. :)

Airguardian What I mean is like any man and machine interface, for lack of better terminology, the mind meld with the plane. And yes, maybe some level of feedback in the vortices displayed in the smoke. Maybe?

The tighter and more accurate the feedback loop the better it "feels".
I have a few planes that "feel" really good, and others where the "feel" is rather sloppy.
