Not an expert but I'm guessing that those who are obsessed with unworn expanses of makeup will eventually be tricked by the painted lady one way of the other. Since I am the infamous dabbler in water color color, I'll say that the experiment was a failure--far to opaque and garish. I was told by an art restorer and inpainter that a presentable facsimile might be produced with analine dye or thinned acrylic. I also did Miller's Perazzi fix to the same Fox action bar in the oven for a few minutes and the swabbed Oxpho. When I sold the old relic, it had been scrubbed clean and had the characteristic sheen of chrome-steel. Careful you all don't bump into somebody else up there on the moral high ground. The occupancy level may be higher than you care to imagine.
