Don, when Marlo Treit was wind tunneling his 4 foot model of his new streamliner, they used a liquid chalk painted on the car. When it dried it stayed on the car until the wind hit it, then it moved around in the wind. showing the patterns as the wind hit the car. Enough was left in trace paterns, that the car could be studied afterwards. I am not sure, but I think there might be pictures of the testing on NitroGeazers.com.
