You can select a solid color for any Tombstone Gun Grip. The colors are molded into the material, all the way through, so you can sand and shape the grip without loss of color. From the traditional simulated rubber black or shiny ebony black to wild hot pink, lime green or turquoise blue, you can customize your gun with a color matches original tradition or your own ideas! Tombstone Grips are economical enough so you can afford more than one color, for different purposes: bright yellow makes the gun easy to locate in dim light; grey or olive makes the gun blend better with a suit. Any grip with sufficient space can have a medallion mounted on both grip panels. This looks especially nice on a plain grip, or in place of a factory logo. Medallions are made of heavy duty silver base with gold accents, and are mounted permanently in the grip so that all edges are just at or below the grip curvature. Some grips with heavy carving or insufficient area do not have the medallion option on their listing. Translucent pearl effects such as traditional white pearl, pink pearl, black pearl, or many special shades including gold metallic or silver metallic can be added for a modest additional cost. The pearl grips are somewhat dull when you get them, but will buff up to a brilliant finish with deep shimmering colors (instructions for polishing and buffing are included with the grips). This small amount of additional work on your part will increase the value and appearance of your grips while saving a great deal of money over having them polished before shipping. In addition, since most grips need some sanding and fitting, it could be a waste of time (and money) to have them receive their final finish prior to fitting...you'd just have to do it again.

You can also send a sample color to match as closely as possible. I can get it close, but can't promise exact match because the urethane changes the color as it cures, and it isn't possible to tell what it will be until it is made. If you want a matching pair or more grips, it is best to have them made all at the same time from the same batch mix, to assure matching colors.

You can send medallions to be mounted, for relatively low cost. Your medallions should be from 1/2 inch to no larger than 3/4 inch in diameter, and round. Round medallions are countersunk into the grip. Other shapes have to be hand carved into the grip at a considerably greater labor cost. The smaller the medallion diameter, the closer the edges can be to flush with the surface all around. Grips are curved in two directions, so the lowest point on the curve that intercepts the grip will be at the surface near the medallion edge, and the higher points will have to be above the medallion surface. This insures that all the edges are at or below the grip material, so they won't catch on clothing or be uncomfortable to shoot (or catch on something firm and pull the medallion out).

Pearl Effects can be selected for smooth grips (uncheckered). The grips need to be polished and buffed in order to change the "as shipped" somewhat dull appearance into the dramatic, deep pearl look. Since you cannot buff and polish carved or checkered areas, those areas would remain opaque. The look is not bad, but it isn't the same as the illustrations. These illustrations are of smooth grips which have not been buffed to a high finish, but only given a moderate polish. They represent the minimum "shine" and depth you could expect with 8-10 minutes of polishing using two or three grades of abrasive. With four or five grades over a 15-20 minute period, you can achieve better depth and color than is shown. I wanted to illustrate a modest, easy to achieve effect rather than the best possible.
