  • HydroGrip Finish

    – This is our proprietary blend of finish that gives your item a rubbery “soft feel”.  This finish is super durable and is great for taking the “slip” out of the item and giving you better grip.  It also helps with items that can take a beating. Giving the item an advantage over traditional clear coats.  HydroGrip is only available in flat and is binded over two coats of our protective clear.   You cannot tell that an item has been coated in HydroGrip unless you pick it up and feel it.  Cost$25 extra per order/job

  • Armour Hide™

    – This is our newest coating that we have developed for our process in house.  Armour Hide™ is a super tough, super resistant clear coat that comes in either High Gloss or Flat finishes.  Armour Hide™ Stands up to other coatings with it’s 9H+ Hardness.  It has been tested against many other coatings on the market, such as Cerakote, KG Gun Kote, Duracoat, and many other automotive finishes.  At this time, we only use it as a clear finish.  In the future we will be offering it in colors as well.  Cost is $25 extra per rifle stock or complete gun.

Tinted Clear coats-

You have the option to give your item a special ‘hue”.  This is especially cool if you want a certain color that a pattern does not allow a base color change.

Such as this carbon fiber (NW-CFBSW) that is only black and silver and does not allow for a base color change. Both colors are the same pattern shown in this image, one just has the red tint.  This customer wanted a red carbon fiber look:
