Is there such an option as a Mica -Sunburst finish?
I don't recall ever seeing one, but that doesn't mean its not feasible. Might be more durable than the lacquer sunburst finishes. |

I doubt if you could do a sunburst in just mica.
I suppose you could do some shading with lacquer on the ends of the guitar. |

| The mica surface might have to be "etched" in order for the applied paint to bond. Most ultra smooth surfaces need some sort of pre-prepping. |

The colors/patterns in plastic laminate are printed on paper and embedded in phenolic resin. I've never seen a sunburst pattern in a production laminate, but I know some manufacturers (like Wilsonart) will make custom sheets from digital art. It's pricey but quite doable and not uncommon.
You would have to produce a high-res photo of the sunburst pattern on a flat plane with the look, the type of wood and colors etc. you wanted, email it to them and they would produce the material in a sheet(s). |
