Question: selective french grey, question

[dlilazteca]

I'm about to do some selected French grey on a firearm here's my question will any nail polish work, or does it have to have a particular ingredient, as I would suppose there are many types as my wife has a thousand of them.

Thanks

Saludos,

Carlos

Pick a color you would use on your own nails... sumthin' that matches yer shirt maybe?

Or your least favorite to see on her?

Or one she hates and never intends to use? (Find out which ones she'll never miss)

So many way to do selective french gray, here is the way I do it. I blue the piece then with a small brush I remove and some blue remover I brush the parts I want to gray. I think it might be more precise than using nail polish, regardless of how much you want to play with your wife cosmetic. BTW a "mouche" is the most sensible way to start.

i have a funny story about that and suppose the statute of limitations has passed... in about 1988 or so i was dating two gals, neither relationship was very serious, and one of them came over to my house while i was working and sat there doing her nails as we chatted. she ends up leaving her pink polish sitting on the corner of my workbench.

a couple days later girl #2 spies the suspicious polish in my shop and asks about it. without missing a beat i tell her i sometimes use pink when i'm masking for French grey because it shows up better than clear...

true story.

And #2 actually knew what "French gray" was, huh?

This was long before "Shades of Gray"...
