This paint-ready floater frame is intended for artists and DIY-oriented shoppers who want to select the final color themselves. Before painting, its unfinished appearance may show different shades from rail to rail.
A 1/2-inch visible face gives the profile balanced front-facing weight, while the 1-7/8-inch overall molding height supports artwork up to 1-5/8 inches deep. The result is a substantial profile that leaves room for custom color decisions.
This profile prioritizes finish customization rather than a completed decorative look. It allows the frame color to become part of the artwork presentation instead of limiting the choice to an existing catalog finish.
V3986 provides a narrower grain-look alternative at the same maximum artwork depth, while V86 offers a wider face and slightly greater depth capacity in a vivid finish. Choose this option when paint-ready flexibility matters more than a finished color.
Plan the final color treatment before ordering and expect visible tonal variation in the unfinished appearance. Measure the artwork at its deepest point and keep the total depth within 1-5/8 inches.
Framing specialist note: Because the appearance may vary from rail to rail before painting, evaluate this profile as a paint-ready starting point rather than as a finished neutral frame.
