All
McMillan Fiberglass Stocks are available in molded-in
solid colors, marbled or camouflage patterns. The finish
is impregnated into the stock, so it won't chip, peel or
become scratched like paint. Stocks are available in any
solid color used in the camouflage patterns.
One of the more popular finishes, due to its durability, is
the molded-in finish. The stock is made with the color
impregnated into the Gel-Coat (the exterior surface). A
corresponding color pigment is used in the resin, which
gives the stock a uniform color throughout. This finish
can come in a solid color, camouflage or marble. There are
six basic camouflage patterns that are standard order
items. Marble combinations are virtually limitless.
The
marble finish is created by swirling two or three
different colors into the surface of the stock. It can be
used as an effective camouflage when using olive green and
black. A competition-type finish can be red, white and
blue.
When
ordering remember that each finish is done by hand and
that each is unique. It is impossible to exactly duplicate
any particular marble finish. Also, the color will change
shades somewhat, due to the mixing of colors while the
swirling is done. Marble stocks may not be returned
because of dissatisfaction with the color. However, you
may opt to have us paint the stock at our regular price.
Because
the finish is molded-in, it is strictly a utility-grade
finish. The mold lines will show (mold lines are the lines
that occur where the two halves of the mold come
together). Also, some small imperfections, as well as
sanding marks, may be visible.
McMillan
does their best to make the finishes as attractive as
possible; however, they are limited in what can be
accomplished with molded-in colors. Solid colors,
especially darker ones, produce the greatest challenge,
whereas the camouflage patterns tend to look better
because the various colors and shapes tend to hide
imperfections. Marbled colors offer the best choice f or
creating a finished look with a molded-in color.
