Inspired by the diverse topography of our home state, our finishes are a curated selection of textures and tones that reflect the California landscape. From the soft marine layer of the Pacific to the sun-drenched granite of the High Sierra, each material is chosen for its permanence, its tactile quality, and its ability to age with grace. We don’t just color our products; we celebrate the structural integrity of the metals beneath, ensuring that every MSB chassis is as much a piece of architecture as it is a feat of engineering. The MSB Color Palette A tribute to the raw, crystalline beauty of the Sierra Nevada minerals. This finish utilizes a Hard Anodize process to preserve the natural, cool-toned silver of the aluminum. The coarse bead-blasted texture diffuses light across the unibody, creating a soft, structural glow that is both resilient to the touch and timeless in its aesthetic. It is the purest expression of our machined architecture. Granite Silver

Designed for depth and durability, Basalt Black is based on a premium Optical Black dye. Beyond its striking visual presence, this chassis features advanced UV resistance and long-term color retention, ensuring the deep, volcanic black remains unyielding against the passage of time. It is a finish of gravity and quiet power. Basalt Black

Our most exclusive chassis offering, Sandstone Gold, is a custom light-gold anodization available only through specialized dealer commissions. With its subtle sandy undertones and warm, champagne-hued luster, this finish captures the ephemeral "Golden Hour" of the California coast. It is a sophisticated, mineral-inspired tone that bridges the gap between technical hardware and organic warmth. Sandstone Gold

CNC Stainless

The stock configuration for the discerning minimalist. CNC Stainless celebrates the honesty of our manufacturing process, leaving the 303 stainless steel in its raw, CNC-machined state. The visible tool paths and micro-ridges tell the story of the part’s creation, offering a high-tech, industrial aesthetic that emphasizes precision over artifice.

Pacific Mist

Pacific Mist transforms the stainless steel detail into a soft-touch, atmospheric element. By smoothing out the CNC lines, we create a finish that mimics the heavy marine layer of the Northern California shoreline. It is a diffused, non-reflective surface that feels exceptionally premium to the touch, favoring fluid form over sharp edges.

Obsidian

Obsidian represents the pinnacle of ceramic coating technology. Utilizing a fine-grain Cerakote finish, these details offer a deep, ultra-matte profile with a distinctive soft-touch feel. This high-quality ceramic barrier provides exceptional scratch resistance and a uniform, light-eating black that provides a sharp contrast against any chassis selection.

Precision Gold

Precision Gold is an exercise in high-performance luxury. Utilizing Titanium Nitride (TiN)—a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating typically reserved for aerospace components and luxury timepieces—this finish provides extreme surface hardness. The golden PVD layer is thin enough to reveal the intricate machine lines of the 303 stainless beneath, resulting in a brilliant, shiny gold that radiates technical excellence.

Gold Coast

Inspired by the sun-baked cliffs of the Pacific Coast Highway, Gold Coast is a matte gold Cerakote finish. It offers a muted, sophisticated alternative to shiny gold, providing a soft-touch texture that completely hides the machining lines. The result is a monolithic, earthy gold that feels contemporary, understated, and quintessentially Californian.

Terracotta

Terracotta is a celebration of the California interior—inspired by the deep, clay-rich soils and the bark of the ancient Redwoods. This matte copper Cerakote finish provides a dry, earthy tone and a velvety soft-touch surface. It is a unique, organic "Detail" that adds a sense of grounded, natural warmth to the industrial aluminum chassis.
