    Gel coat look

    Is there a way/kit to do a stock paint job to mimic the gel coat colors and feel or is that only possible during manufacture? I would be trying it on a B&C M40 stock. I want to try mimic the “smear” look like the MacMillans. Also more of a slight gloss finish.

    Looking up landline

    How do I find a residential land line number off a name and address. I tried White Pages, but I am not having any luck. I made a transaction for a shotgun with a guy a while ago and just want a backup number for him, because he always takes forever to return my calls on his cellphone.
