To have a flame or quilted top with a mystic dream finish? If so I hope the majesty sports this.

Mystic Dream is opaque, right? I haven't seen a shifting colour that's translucent.

It sure is. I figured it would be a challenge to produce such a finish on flame/quilted top but, imagine..

In my mind it would look absolutely amazing! However, the reality of it may be it looks like doo doo.

It might not be possible for trans-finish. I don't know anything about paint and finishing of course, but that's just my gut feeling. *shrug*

I think this paint is based on light refraction. If it was a color stain it would probably have minimal to no refraction.

Edit:

Think of it this way... Translucent colors penetrate the wood and solid colors sit on top of the wood. So color changing paint is based on glass particles. I'm not sure glass particles could penetrate the wood to create this effect.

You, you're smart you! Thanks for the lesson in light refraction :)
