Gris Clair Neutre

The color

Gris Clair Neutre is a French name, which translated means neutral light gray. A neutral gray is a shade with no clear warm or cool bias, so it tips neither toward blue nor toward brown. That is exactly why it is easy to work with: beside other colors it does not change how they read, and on a model it looks calm.

Where you will use it

Light neutral grays are among the most used shades in modeling. They work on aircraft finishes, on interior surfaces and on vehicles whose surface is meant to look cool and unobtrusive. They also serve well as a working color during a build: they suit lightening a darker finish on upper surfaces, picking out edges and making a neutral base on which the shades of further coats are easier to judge.

How to work with the paint

• shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles at the bottom
• choose the thinner and the thinning ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging, that is the thinner made for this range
• spray in thin coats and let each one set; depth of color comes from repeating, not from one heavy coat
• wash and degrease the surface of the model beforehand and use a primer on smooth materials
• close the bottle firmly after work and wipe the thread, otherwise it dries shut at the neck
