I am doing some clear grips as well.
And with color dyes I can do other colors, on hand is a Honey Brown, Scarlet Red, Lemon Yellow and Bright Orange.
Black also.
Other colors by special order.
Prices based on cost of plastic and dyes.
Contact me at racprops@cox.net
Note these are from my normal molds so these are made to fit my models or grips frames.

The clear plastic costs a little more than normal plastic so the clear grips will cost $56.00.
Special order colored grips will cost $63.00.
The Black and White plastic costs a little less so they will cost $36.00.
Again these are from my molds for my model only.

Well I have a plastic that turns white so that might work as the Ivory, Mother of Pearl and Tortoise Shell I have no idea how to do them.
These are closed molds so a trick I did a couple of times of pouring in the amber plastic and then adding and streaking a little darker color will only work with a open faced mold, and then it takes hours of sanding and polishing to get a clear face.

The white would probably work as ivory, it would just have to be weathered by hand afterwards to get the ivory look. Mother of Pearl would need a pearlescent additive to a clear or white resin. The Tortoise shell would of course have to be very special order and cost a pretty penny, for all the extra work, and very likely high number of reject attempts.

OK here is a few pictures of the multicolored grips:
Top Left to top right:
Pale amber (piss yellow) Reddest and shiny Black
Bottom left to bottom right:
Correct Orange, White (Ivory, Pearl) and a clear part to show hoe clear the clear grips can be.
Note spots seen in clear parts are in the box not the grips.
Rich
PS I have a couple of black grips that came out dull, they look like hard rubber.
