Excellent explanation and demo. In your opinion, if a stone is "blu-ed" correctly without painting, will have as much letter contrast as painting on the first day, or will it be worse when new but better in the long run?

Yes never as good day one but way better down the road.

@@-gravestonepros Thank you. Can a gray granite stone laying flat (not vertical or slanted, due to cemetery requirements) be blu-ed and good enough to be legible on day 1? Do you make and ship stones out of state?

Blued lettering obviously requires a little more care when finishing out v-sunk and deep carvings. But with that said, the process allows you to see the full depth and the beauty of the inscription.

Keep the bluing areas polished, then just hit it quick with any grit of sand and you’ll get that same effect. Steeled faces are the same way

So I am by no means an expert but when I'm cleaning stones, I always get the stone wet which loosens the growth and seems to be alot less abrasive on the paint and stone. Also with anything painted I try to only use a toothbrush, my thought is a toothbrush is softer on the paint and will hopefully preserve the paint for as long as possible

Sadly, single processing and paint is "cheap and easy". Very few companies actually take the time to do the correct type of engraving for any given color and grain of stone....such as deep-cut outline, frosted edge, polished edge. Skin cutting in any color other than jet black should be outlawed.
