I would have MJT do the finish - they use nitro and if you sent this pic/example, they would come very close to replicating it. Because I wanted to see an example of their relic'ing in person I had them do my J in Burgundy Mist Metallic and was very happy with the result. Cost was consistent with Pat Wilkins, but Pat doesn't do nitro or relic'ing and MJT specializes in both. You can request any level of relic'ing (from mild to heavy) and they send pic's for approval at every step. I requested a semi-mild relic'ing including checking and I added some of my own* after receiving it. (area near bridge pu) I do a number of other types of custom finishes (as you know) - but they do this look better. I can install the pu.
