From my experience though things overcleared with smoke tend to get a brown tint. It'll probably be more like a light candy brown instead of gunmetal.

For a gunmetal finish I use Gunze Super Metallic Stainless Steel with plenty of clearcoat. If its not clearcoated it just looks like bare metal. But I think its looks alot better than say Tamiya Gunmetal Lacquer. Don't be afraid to use metallizers as body colours.
